Portrait of a Peregrine Falcon
The increase use of the pesticide DDT in modern farming brought the Peregrine falcon population to the bring of extinct in North America. Conservation efforts across the continent by various conservation organizations and individuals as increased the population such that the falcon is no longer in danger and population status of the bird is now labeled “Least concern” which is a great success story for conservation.
I found this falcon sitting on a concreate post under a bridge near a major highway. It gave me a pose for a few moments and flew after a flock of pigeons to find breakfast.
