Title: Pics from today watch Post by: Yarak on 22-Jan-11, 10:50:24 PM Quote By Rochester falcon watcher Dana Here are some pics from my watches today. The 1st 5 pics are downtown including under the elevator shaft. Pictures 6 and on are not for those with a weak stomach. They are of the unbanded adult peregrine falcon I spotted on the ice eating a gull down in the Charlotte area. Hope...

The shots of the ducks were gorgeous; especially the serenity the two Mergansers bring into the picture in sharp contrast to the brutal prey scene. That it's an award winning shot. Did you shoot them from inside your car?

Margaret, I was close to the Pefa and comfortable to say it was probably a female, but I have no confidence in size comparison with Beauty. Tough to tell without seeing the two together. I was definitely shooting from inside my car, with my window half open. Both the falcon and the Mergansers would quickly leave the area if I opened my car door and got out. Luckily they were okay with the camera clicks. :flash: Dana Title: Re: Pics from today watch Post by: Bird Crazy on 23-Jan-11, 09:32:40 PM I like the pics where the ducks are swimming by behind her, like "hey! what ya doin?" :lol: I took it to be like folks who drive real slow past a car wreak. ;)Title: Re: Pics from today watch Post by: rssport on 23-Jan-11, 10:18:53 PM Great pics Dana. :heart:
