Peregrine Cleaning Prey Inflight

Canon 1DX • 600mm • 1/1250 • f/5.6 • ISO 640 • handheld • manual

This was taken last week on an overcast morning, the female was cleaning the pigeon mid-air to bring to one of the fledges.

Thanks for looking.

Nice view of the prey. Like the highkey treatment here. The overcast light helped with that. Neat behavior as well.

Tim: Wow...great image capturing that behaviour. Could you have stopped down a stop or two to get more d.o.f, as it looks a little soft to me.

Neat behavior. Bad luck that the bird was not cleaning the near-side of the prey ...

with love, artie

I would sure like to have this....
