**There is no “and” before “falcon,” suggesting that they’re referring to two incidents. Also, a comma is not needed between the final two items of a list, although it’s perfectly acceptable to use one (which IIRC is called a “Boston Comma” or somesuch). **

Also known as ‘Oxford comma’ (UK) or ‘Harvard comma’ (US), it’s properly called serial comma. There’s a nice piece about it on WorldWideWords:

That form of punctuation is uncommon in British English,[…]but it’s a characteristic part of the house style of the Oxford University Press, hence the name.
