Peregrine

Yes, another Peregrine Falcon. As this is what is hot down here right now, this is what you're going to be getting for a while. Please bear with us.

This is mom. Mom rules the skies. In this neighborhood it is a bad day if you happen to be a pigeon. Note the little spot of Pigeon meat on top of her head.

Excellent, Charlie. Interesting tht you and Patrick caught two different Peregrine's taking off from the same perch in exactly the same moment.

Perfect timing, Charlie. I like the intensity you captured. Peregrines are always business-like, and you've got that here.

Wish I had Peregrines in my backyard

Very sharp details and although you and Patirck caught similar shots, I like the fact that I can see more of that upper snag in yours. Enjoying all these Peregrine shots! Sharon

It's surreal. It looks like an oil painting.
