| Peregrine Falcon at the Glendale Recharge Ponds |
Following up from my last post about our birding adventure at the Glendale Recharge Ponds, here's the Peregrine Falcon that we saw. A lifer for us!

Okay, so I know they are raptors, but look at that adorable face! More like those eyes - he's just too cute! I'm just glad that this juvenile didn't have any prey with him. I'm squeamish. Big time! So in other words, you'll never see any photos of birds with prey or the likes on here my blog, Flickr, Instagram, Twitter...

We stood there watching the juvenile for quite some time and then he took flight. We followed his path and he landed close to another bird, which we later discovered was an adult Peregrine Falcon. Perhaps mom or dad were teaching him how to hunt.
Oh and please excuse the photo quality as they're not the best, but I'm sharing them anyway. I'm a birder first and hobby photographer second. However, I'm trying VERY hard in hopes of taking much better photos. Lots and lots of practice.

I have several other photos of a variety of species that we saw over the past two weekends at this birding hotspot. I'll share them as I can over the next couple weeks. In October we're going on another birding adventure in Prescott.
Peace and happy birding!
