This falcon had no problem getting his breakfast. This is five frames showing the action to the ground with a pigeon..

This Peregrine Falcon sits atop a light standard in a riverside park .... perfectly comfortable in urban environments.
***** UPDATE , This Falcon has been identified as "Tonga" a female hatched in 2003 from a nest site at the Mississauga Executive Center in Mississauga ON. *****
I'm not a great lover of photographing captive birds but as I have never seen one in the wild I thought I would make the most of the opportunity.
She came in fast and caught a Pigeon within 30 seconds. I also posted a hunting shot. There were too many Pigeons in the way for me to see the actual hit.
The previous shot shows her on the hunt.

Peregrine falcons are fairly common fall migrants here in New Jersey, but rare spring migrants and winter residents. There are also introduced, nonmigratory breeding populations at several locations, including the Edwin B. Forsythe NWR where I photographed this bird.
Falcon sightings have been few and far between at the grain terminal here this season. I haven't seen Digit for nearly a month. She came in today, did a few circuits around the terminal, and flew off east.

This is the second half of a selection of 6 photos from a take-off sequence. The first three are coming tomorrow,
I see peregrine falcons from time to time. But finding them and photographing them never happened until this past month. On the last three trips to Lake Pleasant, peregrines were easily spotted and surprisingly cooperative. After seeing this falcon harass ring-billed gulls on the water, we tracked him to the cliff and piloted our boat to get the best light and wait and wait and wait. 60 minutes of alert anticipation to not miss 2 seconds of flight time.

This Falcon captured a Pigeon and took it to the roof of a nearby low building to eat, A flock of Magpies harassed it off the roof and it flew by with what remained if its catch.
You can tell by the full crop and what is left of the prey, that she had already eaten most of it. She took the remains high up to the antenna platform on top of the grain terminal and finished her meal in peace.

After being disturbed by some cattle the Falcon picked up the Pigeon meal and shot up into the air. The half eaten carcass exposed the inners of the Rock Pigeon entirely and made for an excellent shot! He flew for another half a mile where he consumed the prey in entirety.
Many thanks in advance for your views/ comments. Much appreciated!
I posted two shots of the Prairie falcon action at the grain terminal today. She came in and captured a Pigeon within 30 seconds. I could not get the hit shot through the swirl of dozens of panicked Pigeons between me and the Falcon.
I also posted a shot of her flying by with her catch on the way to a low rooftop to eat.

Perched high above the Funchal hotels, a Harris Hawk keeps a sharp eye on the birds below. With its handler by its side, the hawk scans the sunbeds and the pools as if it were in open countryside. A striking mix of modern architecture and timeless falconry.
