This is a female from 2 years ago, prepping and praying for a good season this year.
The female of this pair had more rufus coloring in her breast and head are than the male.
Very cool Tim! I have always liked preening poses and trying to get them with the last primary or tail feather is always a fun and makes for an interesting and fun frame.
Colors, details and background look great and I love that the perch is clean.
Well done and i hope we have a good peregrine season. See ya out there
Come join me for a Custom Raptor Workshop starting this November 2019- January 2020.

Yes, neat pose indeed. Rarely, but sometimes, an image works even with no eyes showing. Here's one good example. Although the rock perch is pretty neat, I do wish you had photographed in vertical orientation. It still works as is though. Good blue water BG. BUmmer the paler oof area of the perch was visible but no deal-breaker. Pretty cool stuff!
The feather and foot details are great, but I agree it's a bummer we can't se at least one of hers eye. Lovely setting, hoping to make ti down there at least once this spring.
