Carmel, CA - Point Lobos SR - Peregrine Falcon - 1/29/13

cr_Point Lobos - Peregrine Falcon (5), originally uploaded by kimberzy.

The Peregrine Falcon is a bird hunter, so naturally, the birds below were a little nervous (perhaps that is why the Bewick's Wren was so chatty - perhaps warning others that Mr Falcon was in the area). Would have been a nicer shot if the sun had been shining and it he had been closer, but, of course, it HAD to be overcast that day and he HAD to perch on the tree furthest from me, way on top - lol. But a less than stellar pic is better than no pic at all. And it is my first halfway decent pic of a Peregrine Falcon, so I call it a success :)
