I walked out on a local sandbar about a year ago looking for late lingering shorebirds when I saw two peregrine falcons flying overhead. One of them swooped down and strafed a small flock of snow buntings, killing one of them. The falcon then flew out and landed about two hundred yards past me to devour its meal.
I thought to myself, "Holy moly!" . I had to move low and slow, but also cover a lot of ground to get close enough for anything decent. I also had to work myself around to the right side of the light. By the time I was in position the bunting was gone and the bird was cleaning its feet. I got a number of frames before the second falcon flew back and this one took off.  Natural light. - Paul [b]Paul J. Fusco
