Resting Falcon
It’s always exciting when you capture a photo of a Peregrine falcon. We don’t see many Peregrine Falcons due to their numbers just beginning to rebound as late as the mid 1990’s after abuse of the use of DDT. Due to diligent conservation and recovery efforts, the species was federally delisted in 1999 and was delisted in California in 2009.The Peregrine is renowned for its speed. It can reach over 200 mph during its characteristic hunting stoop (high-speed dive), making it the fastest member of the animal kingdom. This speed demon was taking a break, thus making him an easy subject.
