May 22, 2014 This female adult Peregrine Falcon has been a busy girl. Aside from observing her flying in with birds she has caught, note that here talons are bloody. Here she is resting on the edge of the cliff until the crying of her four fledges becomes unbearable.

Nikon D4 600mm 1.4TC 850mm ISO800 1/1250 f/6.3 White Balance sun Cropped minimally Processed in Lightroom, PSCC, NIK and TK.

Nice, Patrick. I wouldn't want those feet coming at me at 120 mph.
