p.1 #1 · Peregrine Falcon in the rain

I was set up standing on a rock wall at the edge of a trail near the Hudson River Palisades. My tripod is on the ground and extended all the way up getting me just high enough to watch the falcon on one of it's faverate perches. Then it started to rain and it got quite heavy. No problem, I had my hat and jacket on.

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Morris

1) Just starting to rain

2) The falcon starts to move out of the wind

3) It cleans it's talens

4) Just like we do, "It's raining"

5) Are you just going to stand there in the rain?

6) Slippery when wet

7) Look out below! There is a trail down there

8) The falcon turns into the wind
