Found in the Clutter: Aplomado Falcon

Found while attempting to better organize my too large pile of photos. Aplomado Falcons are a widespread, but uncommon, raptor in Central and South America. They have become rare in the southern US but are starting to come back in southeast Texas with the help of conservationists that provide new habitat for them. This is a mating pair. The female, as is the case with most raptors, is the larger of the two. Photographed on a rainy day about 12mi (20km) west of Port Isabel TX in 2019.
