Georgia. With a few back to back unseasonably warm days migration has been good the past several nights. In just three days this excellent scrub habitat went from having just a few Prairie warbler arrivals to having multiple.
Here we have yellow grayhead prairie coneflowers in the front and purple thickspike gayfeather flowers in the back. There were lots of both kinds here this year.

The return of "Digit". I am quite sure that this is the same female Prairie Falcon that we first noticed in 2017 at the Alberta Grain Terminal. She has one talon on the right leg that is unbendable perhaps due to an old injury.
She caught a Pigeon and ate it out of sight on the roof of a nearby building. I got this shot as she flew off with an obvious full crop.
The light was very poor for flight shots, but we will get more chances.

Digit strikes but can't hold on. This fortunate Pigeon escaped with the loss of a couple of tail feathers.
We call this female Prairie Falcon "Digit" because she has one talon that is unbendable for some reason and sticks straight out. That talon is not clear in this shot, but I was able to identify her from other shots taken during this photo session.
This the third consecutive year she has been observed hunting Pigeons at the grain terminal here.

This is a juvenile of a Western species that is an accidental visitor in our area. I arrived at the location shortly after 3 and when the bird was a no show for almost an hour I was about to give up just when it flew in to land on a Spruce tree in a private property, by the side of a road. After about five minutes it left the spruce tree and flew on to a nearby White Pine, presumably to roost for the night. I managed to get a few in-flight shots where one can see the dark wingpits - a definitive characteristic of a Prairie Falcon. Clarington, Ontario.
Watched this falcon trying to catch pigeons at the AGT in Edmonton, 5 image sequence. His talons just missed the body and only clipping the wing.
Rough blazing star and goldenrod in the late summer prairie. We're entering that time of year when you can sense the softening of the light.
