Thank you very much, Simone!great shots Lance... A peregrine came out from nowhere?? love it! Especially because you share it among common birds like "yeah...a peregrine" lol.
I am sure you know Peregrines, they can literally come out of nowhere as they fly so damned fast, LOL. When they really decide to motor, they are like a bullet. It was more that he was at a distance and was so small compared to the Pelicans I had been photographing that I hadn't noticed him until the last minute. I have photographed many Peregrines previously and so, I recognised the way he flew rather than his outline becasue he was so dark against the bright white cloudy sky.
