Greetings Flickr Friends,

I am a full time nature observer, Peregrine Falcon Ethologist, who's passion is to observe and document Peregrine Falcon behavior in their historic wild habitat on a daily basis. I spend 6 months of the year with 2 individual mating Peregrine Falcons, documenting their courting, mating, brooding, fledging behavior.

I begin early in December, observing their courtship behavior a few hours each day. As the season progresses I find myself getting into "bio-synchronology" with their behavior. I try to stay intensely focused on their every move for up to 9 hours a day, logging their behavior minute by minute. My journal and photographs are a "bio-chronology" of their life. It is a commitment I am devoted too. My passion, curiosity and sincere interest in their well being is what sustains my mission. I am fortunate. I love what I live for.
