A prairie falcon (Falco mexicanus) rockets overhead while piercing the silence with a sharp scream. These birds are notoriously aggressive in defending their nests and the pair circling above on this day lived up to their reputation. Their aerial acrobatics will easily deter would be nest bandits such as owls and golden eagles. Just like Goose and Maverick, these feathered top guns enjoy their time in the air and are occasionally witnessed playing - dropping petrified cow manure from midair and diving to catch it. During this encounter this individual even buzzed the tower once or twice.

Photographed in Box Elder County, Utah.
Prairie Falcons inhabit hills, canyons, and mountains of arid grasslands and shrub-steppes of southwestern Canada, western United States, Baja California, and northern Mexico. This individual was in a remote section of northwest Utah. After leaving the interstate, a sign warns you that the next services are 111 miles away.
Birder's World published a fascinating article regarding this beautiful bird. It can be found here: www.birdersworld.com/brd/default.aspx?c=a&id=245&...
Wooden grain elevators began showing up in the 1870s along railroad tracks in farming towns. At harvest time, farmers would haul their grains, by horse-drawn wagons, to these elevators to be weighed, sold and shipped, by rail, to the buyers. It was often a social event, visiting with neighbors while sipping coffee.
These elevators were built without any architectural frills; they were designed strictly for function and often were sided with metal to protect them from fire. They were dubbed "prairie cathedrals" because of their height, towering like steeples over their surroundings.

Does this shot work with the bird's head turn? Why or why not?

Thank you for your kind wishes, prayers and support in your e-mails that you have sent me during my absence on flickr. I have been undergoing test for Lupus and have not felt very well. I have been diagnosed as positive. The other general test have come out quite well, and I count myself as very lucky. Your kind wishes, prayers, and support are very much appreciated!!! I know that I will overcome this set back in my life, and like this tree...I may be a little weathered but I will beat Lupus, or at least learn how to live with it. Thank you all very much!!!! Love you all for visiting my photo's! I have a few more tests to endure, but I do hope to be back to seeing everyone's wonderful photographs soon!
Best Wishes All!!!!

most of their 'fights' while on the lek consist of simply 'stand offs' however once in a while they will really battle it out if someone invades their space....unless it happens to be a beautiful hen ~
they will burn off these prairie's to kill weed seed and assist in rejuvenating the desirable grasses.
This is a small member of the coneflower clan, being short-stemmed and small-flowered compared to most species I encounter here in Ohio.
The Nissan Prairie (M10) was one of the very first people carriers but its impact in the UK probably a bit diluted since I don't believe they offered the third row of seats here as in the home market. These two very similar models are by Diapet (left, 1:40) and Tomica Dandy (right, 1:43). The Dandy is a nicer model in may ways.
