Peregrine Falcon - close up & personal - IMG_8631

Peregrine Falcon - close up & personal - IMG_8631 by foghornleg90.
Peregrine Falcon - the FASTEST Animal on Earth... able to dive at speeds over 220 mph! Small, beautiful, and powerful. This guy was at the Knoxville Zoo. I've had many raptors over the years, as we used to do "Wildlife Rescue" on the west coast. But never had a Peregrine Falcon (always wanted to though).

Oh yeah - this is NOT a crop or edited... it's "as shot" including the reflections in the eye.

What a fantastic bird and what a great shot! He looks like he is standing with hands on his hips - my quirky way of seeing things! Well done! Seen in Better Than Good. :)
