20130807 102 SERIES - Peregrine Falcon.jpg

Ottawa West

Two images of a Peregrine Falcon.

Top image: Closeup and crop of the Falcon perched in a tree located at the river's edge towards the west side of the park. It took us about five minutes to reach the Falcon after first spotting it from the east end of the park. Lucky for us, the falcon was still there and allowed us some good shots before flying off.


A full frame image of the Falcon taken from the east end of the park from which we first saw the Falcon fly in and land.

Nikon D800 ,Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6D ED VR AF
1/2000s f/8.0 at 400.0mm iso280 full exif
