Peregrine Falcon Dive

6-1-13 San Diego, CA
Unfortunately the day was badly overcast as many photographers jockeyed for position to shoot the fledges chasing their parents along the cliffs. I felt lucky to catch this fellow as he began his dive.

Patrick, I think you are very lucky indeed. This is an amazing shot. Excellent angle. Fine details. This would be enough to get envious.
