Beautiful color and detail, Paul! My understanding is that once in captivity, birds of prey are often rejected by the their community if released.

Wonderful capture of this magnificent Peregrine. Sad that he has permanent health issues but a great thing that there are rescues for these birds and animals. We adopted a rescue bird..a male Eclectus... about two years ago with a lot of health issues.
