Peregrine Falcon

I am excited! Got my first ever Peregrine Falcon this morning at Delta Ponds. When I got there, I saw my friend, John. He motioned for me to hurry to where he was standing, and then pointed out the falcon high up in a tall tree. I fired off a few shots and then sought a better viewing location. When I did, about four crows showed up and began buzzing the falcon. I got a shot of a crow and the falcon but they were too small in the frame to see a lot of detail. This is a shot of just the falcon in a defensive mode as a crow flew close by. I liked the pose. I got other shots of birds this morning but this was my highlight of the day.

(I processed this with DXO and somehow it stripped the EXIF file.)

Lucky you, I have never had the pleasure of viewing one in the Wild.. Nice wing position.

Great capture. I have only seen one and that was back in 1989. Wonderful position of the body and wings, Vern. Vote.

An excellent capture, and not so sure how wise the crows were to buzz the falcon. V.
