I was standing in the middle of a marsh on a boardwalk this morning when this Falcon came cruising by. It's the first one I've even seen, much less been able to capture. It was cruising. I managed via Spray and Pray to get an oncoming shot, but when it came to panning there was no way.

Taken with my outdated technology junk Nikon D4 and Nikon 200-500mm.

Interesting colors. Our resident peregrines downtown are more gunmetal grey in color than brown. They live on the top of a skyscraper uptown from my office, but tend to hang out on our building during the day as we have good, high places to perch.

Haha Thanks. No, I love the D4 but someone did call it "outdated technology junk" once so I had to rub it in. :)

That’s why I scratch my head with all this talk about the Z cameras. Sometimes we get too wrapped up about the next great piece of technology (Got to have it!) and forget about what’s right in front of our noses.

That’s amazing. And no raggedy feathers. I hate it when you get a shot and the model is scruffy.

I actually like the scruffy shots, but thanks. :)
