    … what a great day and the unexpected happened when we found our Peregrine Falcon on the same little island and with perfect light we positioned ourselves with a slight drift in towards the falcon and again got dozens of shots of our speed machine before she took off less than 30 feet away. The shot above shows the falcon taking one leg down from under her breast feathers and placing it on the rock about a quarter of a second before she took off … wings are being unfurled before the initial power stroke. Birds of all types will perch on one leg and tuck the other leg up under the breast feathers to reduce the loss of body heat from unfeathered body parts … it was very cool this morning. More shots of her in flight too, but I like this brief moment as final moves before takeoff are taken.

    The shot below is of an Osprey that has just left a tree limb in the water and left for hidden waters where we were not. Everyone but fishermen in boats seemed to be doing well at food gathering!

    A raptor shoot later this morning … its been a long and wonderful day and time to wrap it. Have a wonderful day and smile … you are here!

    Cheers,

    Ted

    Though work bring naught of power
    nor wealth
    Spare me from want of common needs,
    And give a share of manly health,
    A few good friends of honest deeds;

    And till death’s peaceful slumber nears
    A life of undishonored years.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
