He's the one that took all the great pics of Quest in Cape Cod.




Photo by E.Vernon Laux This is a photo of an immature Peregrine Falcon of the race that breeds in Greenland with a band on its right leg. These are the most migratory of the worldÕs falcons the adults heading to Patagonia in southern South America for the winter before returning to its high Arctic breeding grounds in Greenland on an annual basis. That is a minimum of a 20 thousand mile annual commute and some huge open water crossings!!

Then there is the breed that makes the huge open water crossing from Rochester to Toronto... once.

...though I have often wondered what savory scent is wafting the other direction for so many to make the crossing TO Rochester
