Prairie falcon returns to its perch
A prairie falcon flies by on its way to its perch. (© Tony’s Takes)

This little guy / gal was having a nice, quiet morning, just sitting and enjoying the sun and watching folks drive by. That is, until a hawk decided it wanted to play. I was watching the falcon when, out of nowhere, a ferruginous hawk flew in and knowing it was outmatched and outsized, the falcon departed. While I missed getting pics of that bit of action, thankfully for me, the falcon simply went for a quick tour and came right back, giving me a nice sequence of light shots including this one.
