Twice a peregrine falcon landed on our deck railing. I got a picture, but it's not that good. They are so beautiful! Our deck is a flurry of activity with all of the birds, squirrels, rats, and chipmunks. We have a wooded lot behind our home.

Thank you for this beautiful photo. Saving for reference.

Btw Peregrine Falcons are an example of something good in environmental management
in that the banning of DDT has helped their #s come back up.
