It's that time of the year! Nice shot of the male coming in with his talons already curled back and the female standing waiting for copulation.
Looks like you'll have a good place to shoot baby peregrines in a few months. Nice capture.

Terry, awesome timing, wonderful behavior capture - I too was noticing the male's curled sideways talons. Here's hoping for a successful season for them and you.
