The shaheen falcon (Falco peregrinus peregrinator) is a non-migratory subspecies of the peregrine falcon found mainly in India[2] It has also been described as a migratory subspecies.[3] Other common names for the subspecies include the black shaheen.[4] The word shaheen in these names may also be spelled as shahin.[5] This species was termed as the black shaheen by falconers to separate it from the true shaheen of Persian literature. Scholars of Persian and the Russian ornithologist Georgi Petrovich Dementiev have noted that the name shaheen in Persian literature actually referred to Falco peregrinus babylonicus.[6][7]
