Peregrine falcon after breakfast

Takeoff after devouring almost a whole coot. A real carnivore!

Amazing pose and tack sharp, especially the eye.  Perfect DOF.  I love the remnants of 'dinner' remaining on his beak and talons.  Really fantastic shot!

Beautiful shot Monte! Lots to like about this one, especially the remnants of the meal, but also the great light and detail. Thanks for the explanation of the context.

This is a superb shot of these well fed falcon Monte! Excellent work as always!

All the best,
Neil

Where's the fingerbowl when you need one?!  Fantastic shot..  Mike

A+ very nice great capture, colors are grate thanks for sharing

 

absolutely great capture ...congrats 

Excellent image , the title is appropriate, I like the contrast with the blurred background ( I would have cropped  that little branch on the bottom of the picture). Monte I thank you for the support in these past years and I wish you a New happy year with a fantastic light for your photos, ciao Giangiorgio

Excellent image of one of my favorite birds. Great pose with the evidence of a recent kill putting it over the top for me. I would have cloned out the twig at the bottom if it were mine.

Awesome falcon image in flight. I like the dynamics of this image , the sharpness and background. There are some branches right lower corner which can be removed but it does not take anything away from this superb shot. Regards - Anis.

Nice distinct details Monte!

 

Regards always,

This is a wonderful shot!

Hi Monte,

  Beautiful action shot with amazing clarity, colors & details.  Take care, Patsy

Very nice shot! Sharp and super smooth background. I'd clone out the branches on the bottom.

Beautiful position.  Like Nate says, dump the sticks.

Another excellent shot with beautiful details and light. Perfect crop. Compliments, Regards, Dimitris.
