Peregrine Falcon on the Cliffs

[Bonnie Block]

I had the wonderful experience of getting fairly close to another Peregrine Falcon today. Fellow BPN member Bob Lund and I found this fellow and its pigeon prey along some sandstone cliffs of Puget Sound and the Straits of Juan de Fuca. The light was not ideal--nor the angle pefect--but it was a great pleasure to see these birds doing so well. This is a banded bird.

The light looks pretty good to me. Good details and eye contact, too. I only wish the plant in front of the bird were not there.
