Peregrine at Croton

[Bonnie]

I was up at the Croton Nature Center today and so was this bird.  Do you think the bird saw me?

I agree, simply beautiful and the cere........... Never saw one like that! Thanks Bonnie!!

[MAK]

This Peregrine is simply divine! 

[Bonnie]

Thanks all.  Could not see legs, so don't know about bands.  Sometimes we get them with bands.  I think the rose color on the feathers is from a recent meal.   It kind of goes all down the front.

A beautiful picture of a beautiful falcon!  Looks like she was looking right at you!

Thanks.  I always feel special when I get to see a falcon in my own backyard, Croton.

Yuppers.  Trying to keep an eye on those NYC falcons, too.

Any day with a peregrine sighting is a good day.
