Four images of a mature Peregrine Falcon. Previously I posted two full-frame images of a juvenile Peregrine (Tundra) Falcon. ( See http://www.pbase.com/hankvv/image/128414637 ). It had been suggested to me that these were Tundra Peregrines. This has now been questioned by an other Pbaser. Since I'm not sure myself, any suggestions or comments would be appreciated. I'm posting these four images of an adult hoping that they may shed light on the I.D. The adult images were taken in the same area as those of the two Juveniles. Note the adult is banded and the juveniles are not. All of the images of the adult were taken at considerable distance.

We watched the adult catch a shore bird, then consume it on a branch across the bay.
