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.

The image of the female Peregrine capturing the Willet won the 2010 Audubon Magazine photo contest, 1st place in the amateur division. The prize is a trip to Peru, Machu Pichu & the Amazon. Thanks to all my Flickr friends for your generous comments.

"Will's beautiful images capture what it means to be free. He devotes his time to documenting an amazing wild animal--a keystone species living amongst a myriad of threats in a shrinking habitat. Thank you for believing Will!"

"i have had the pleasure of knowing will only a short period of time through contact on flickr. as a fan of raptors, will's images of birds of prey stuck out like a sore thumb (in a positive way)! i would also add that it is not only his shots of raptors that grab your attention! his images are always sharp and of the highest quality.
an avid fan of wildlife conservation,a friend, a hell of nice guy and a fantastic photographer to boot. i look forward to seeing any images that come out of this guys camp!"8th August, 2008
