This was taken last year at a local eyrie. This is the adult male just as he starts his powerful commanding dive into his nesting cove.
He is a beauty and it's always a thrill to lock on to him as he comes smoking by!! 

D5---600mm---f4.5---ss1/2500th---ISO1600---Handheld@8:30am---35% crop

Thanks as always for looking and for your input.  I appreciate it.

A handsome falcon, indeed, and a beautiful flight pose, David. The head turn makes it for me. Excellent.

Another classic Salem special. Killer pose and details against a perfect colorful background. And to top it off that Intimidating raptor stare! Too notch as usual.
