This young Peregrine Falcon is a wild captive bird. It is in a shelter being rehabilitated after injuring a wing in a collision with a car. It will be a few more months before it can be released. Being young, it has adapted well to captivity--and actually enjoyed our photoshoot. We were getting a photo for a poster for the 2011 fundraising campaign for the shelter. Not sure what image they will pick in the end. Shelter did not mind him on the post--as they are found on a man made post quite often.
There is some photoshop in this image, as the falcon wears a substantial pair of jesses---
Seemed funny to be taking images of a raptor with a 135/2 LOL
