Falcons!

During the winter, Matt and I often eat lunch in our backyard. We see lots of birds in the trees, but Friday we saw something neither of us had ever seen: Peregrine falcons -- a pair of them. You can see a photograph I took of one of them. I was surprised how small they are. Is this normal size or maybe they were youngsters. We have seen red hawks, and several years ago we saw an eagle atop our telephone pole; but this is a first.
