Falcon

My favorite bird has to be the Peregrine Falcon. They are deadly and they are also the fastest bird on the planet. On a dive, it can reach speeds of over 200mph. Well there is this tall building by my house that I keep seeing them circling overhead by:

I looked up falcons on the internet and found out that there is a nest box at the top of this building and that the falcons are looked after by a local group. Today was my first sighting of one not flying so I ran home and got the binoculars and took a pic of the bird through one of the lenses:

Hopefully I see it again, Ill try to get a better shot next time.
