How exciting! I'm partial to peregrines now! I like how you framed them too! So I guess your hooked on Bolivar and I may never see you again.

Great shots Fred. I'm guessing that the falcon is close to full frame as close as you were.

Pretty much Tim, I did crop this one a bit to get the portrait.

Terrific shots Fred! That pelican reminds me of the famous shot of Howard Hughes and his Spruce Goose taking off!
