Falco peregrinus anatum
Power line near flooded park
This was a long-wanted life bird for me! I was thrilled to see it at my favorite patch too. This large falcon was watching a few Mallards swimming in our flooded park. Peregrines aren't called Duck Hawks for nothing. However, all of the Mallards did survive the day. Lucky ducks!

What a great species to have nearby! Welcome to PN.
this is one of my favorite birds. for a while I had some nesting close to my house it was really cool. That was before I knew about project Noah.
Wow! Or maybe that's just what you hear... Haha!
Thanks to both of you! I crack up thinking that it was a lifer considering how common they are where I live. I guess I just don't bird the right areas often enough.
Very nice! One of my favorite birds
Soooooo Awesome!!!!! Huge congrats, josh!
