I know, I must be MAD posting another bird shot...but, it's my favorite bird. The Peregrine Falcon!! I liked his look and wing stretch. Again just goin' thru the owd junk folder looking for anything to post. Hope the weather gets cooler soon so I can get out 'n' about to take some new snaps.

He looks as though he is deliberately displaying that marvelous wingspan for your camera
Splendiferous shot of this bird, the clarity of the plumage and the slightly threatening look in his eye are quite stunning.

That is also one of my favorite hunters. The other would be a Goshawk which has a very simular look but is much bigger and not nearly as fast. Nice job on this.

great details in this shot. I wish I could photograph subjects like this, but none are near me. I must venture out.

Beautiful close up and the stare on the bird is terrific! Clarity is tops and I like the name Peregrine.
