Two photographs of Peregrine Falcons…
The first is an in-flight shot on a bright autumn morning:
The second is more action than art. Another Falcon made a pass at a large number of shorebirds, most of whom took to the air and flew in a group evasive pattern called a murmuration. However, some birds dive under water rather than fly in order to avoid the predator. This photo shows the Falcon flying through the spray of water as a Lesser Yellowlegs tried desperately to submerge in shallow water. It couldn’t totally submerge of course, but the splashing water appeared to have thrown the Falcon off track.
What ever works to live another day!
