with all the great recent peregrine posts couldn't help but post this image from last year in SoCal. This young falcon now probably has its own nest somewhere far...

Love the dorsal view of this. The open mouth and background are nice as well. Nice detail on the bird as well.

[Isaac Grant]

Great dorsal view with the mouth open!!! Just so good. Interesting how worn those primaries are. Was this late in the season?

[Marina Scarr]

That is one heck of a top side view, Arash. Love the calling pose and the bits of BG which are part of the story.

Really nice one Arash, pose, details, HA, catchlight all sweet. Wish it were mine! Do you shoot these IF shots vertical or crop them vert? TFS

[Tim Foltz]

Arash, nice details, angle and open beak.

Hi Alex they are all horizontal, I don't know of anyone who hand holds a 600 vertical

Another nice one Arash, the dorsal view and the scream take this one up a few notches

Killer frame Arash! The open beak as it screams is perfect along with the HA. The details and Bg look great too. That's one of your better Peregrine frames, it has just about everything. See ya in a few days.
