Thanks so much! I think that falcon may have a future in modeling

I was walking a trail the Parker River Wildlife Refuge out in Newburyport Massachusetts and I came around a bend in the trail to an opening and I saw this juvenile Peregrine Falcon watching over the marshland minding it's own business. Then this little bird started dive bombing it because it wanted it's perch back. After about 4 fly-bys the falcon was like forget this I'm outta here. I guess where there's a will there's a way
Very nice series Charles, first one is a really nice portrait, but I like the second one quite a lot - this little bird challenging a much bigger bird of prey - fearless

This morning I went out with two targets in mind: #1 was the Red Avadavat (I still have no good photo of this one) and #2 - African Silver Bill (up to now just have one series of not completely mature one). Got very lucky to take photos of par Silver bills (mature) -very lucky: when they are a flock - forget it! There is at least one that is panicking and all others are gone when you are ~20-30 meters from them (and they are 1.5 inches - 4cm smaller than the House Sparrow!) I saw the Red Avadavat - even in bigger number than the Silver bill but they are always in flock and extremely shy!
Started "clicking" ~ 15 meters from the birds. Got (very, very slow) to just ~3 meters!!!
In German called " Buntspecht" made with 7D2 and EF 600. picture is cropped. 12m far from the Tree, a very hot and sunny Day.
Hope you like it
Very nice shots, Mistkäfer.
Very nice pictures Mistkäfer! Caught just at the right moment ...
Earlier this year I had the opportunity to take a series of this bird nestling (and posted in this thread) - but still going inside the nest and I missed this moment - when the young birds were so big the adults can't enter anymore.
Did you see them leave the nest? Any photo's of that moment...?
