Peregrine Falcon with Coot

I was driving around a local wildlife area a few winters ago when all of the sudden I herd a familiar sound of rushing air. The stoop of a falcon!! As soon as I stopped my truck to look into the air I heard a big whack and this coot came plumeting from the air and fell on a raised dike right next to me. I stopped and froze and this beautiful passage (juvie) female peregrine landed on the unconscious coot. She quickly leaned over and bit its neck to kill it and then realized I was there looking at her. I fired off 3-4 frames and she left her kill and flew off never to return. It was an awesome sight and I am glad I got a frame or two to remember the brief encounter.  Hope you like her.
