And yet again, I have to warn sensitive souls not to view this. In my previous Peregrine post that you can see HERE, I said that I had another post to do about the Peregrine, and this time he had a bigger

...perhaps my best shots of this famous predator yet. But why is this bird famous, you ask? This bird holds the worldwide record of the fastest diving speed. He has left his signature under the high tree

This high treetop is the territory of a Peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus). Thankfully, not every day that we see this, but nature has its own rules. Note: This post is not for sensitive people. We came

The Peregrine Falcon is a juvenile, and I had to search for this one. It was that call that alerted me to the Peregrine's presence. I have posted the peregrines before in this high fir tree, but they were

He came over very high up, and I zoomed him on the wrong camera setting. It is a Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus), and his dive is the fastest of all the birds in the world. I have 3 shots of the falcon,

Not often that I get this famous bird with its catch on camera. Why is the bird famous? Its attacking dive is the fastest in the world. No other bird can dive as fast as the (Falco peregrinus). Here below

At first when I saw the falcon far away, it looked like some kind of cloth that it had. But as it came closer high up ((photo above), I saw the sun dried skins coming off a live wriggling snake. Squamates

I went into the territory of a Rock Kestrel (Falco rupicolus) with the idea to get him in flight. Maybe I would also catch him on camera attacking some prey. Not easy to get them, but a careful search

And what better icon for speed than the famous Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus)? These birds can clock 320+ km/h in their dives, and they are reckoned as the fastest birds in the world. I heard that

I saw the sun halo forming and decided to do something different with it. No that's not my face in the halo, as it is the head of a Cheetah statue in the sun halo :) So, let me show you how our day started.

The early morning rain clouds were moving away, and we had coffee at one of the disabled children care centers. What a luck, as on instinct, or as usual I took a walk with my camera. The rain stopped earlier

Merlin, a small agressive falcon.

I saw that there was a bird at the top of that insulated tower. Definitively not a dove, or a pigeon and it had to be something else. But impossible to get the bird at that height and light? In my book,

Day seven of the “Division Prediction Marathon” brings us to the NFC South which includes the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New Orleans Saints, Carolina Panthers, and the Atlanta Falcons. This division is loaded

Highest Drafted Tight End of All-Time, still only 21 years old!

Discussion of American Kestrel, the smallest U.S. falcon.

Peregring Falcons are versitile, talented and adaptable hunters.

Summer and now the Rock Kestrel has returned to the tree where they nest. I also have some Ravens in flight at the end of the post. Out in nature again and try as I might, last year, I found their nest

Winter Raptors in Washington State

Law and order on high alert as people flock to the beaches in the heat. The Falcon and us had the same idea. Get out early before the heat peak to get our things done and then run to hide from the African
