I've been envious of you folks back east with the influx of snowy, great gray and hawk owls. I guess I have been spoiled this year with a large number of falcon sightings, especially peregrines. I don't know if its a migration thing or just more birds breeding successfully. On wedenesday afternoon I saw this young peregrine on a fence post with a sparrow he must of caught just before I arrived. He let me get several images out the car window before he flew off. He was very small and I thought merlin or coopers hawk when I first saw him. Now I'm thinking tundra peregrine due to his small size, skinny malar stripe and coloring. What do you think? Shot just before sunset, Canon 20D, 600 with 1.4 balanced on the passenger side windowsill...no time for beanbag...thanks for looking and good shooting
