I saw this Falcon landing as I was driving around, so I parked in the parking lot to take some photos. The funny thing is while I was taking pictures, cars started stopping in the street! People took out their cell phones and started taking pictures too! I guess this must be a rare bird for the area, or maybe people must of thought that since I was taking pictures, it must be important! Either way, it's good to know that I inspirer people to use their cameras *smile*.

Nice Peregrine Falcon. These birds were once quite rare but are making a comback. As to the photo, you have a bit of PF that could be taken care of pretty easily and would really help the shot out.
