Peregrine Falcon - juvenile Cranberry Marsh Sept 2013

 Thanks to some great spotting from Rayfield Pye at Cranberry marsh we had a thrill of a lifetime.  A juvenile Peregrine Falcon attacking a plastic owl plus giving us some great viewing of her skill and flying abilities.

 Love the wings and angel

 Attack attack

 I am beautiful

 See how muddy her talons are.  She is hunting in a marsh and I would guess she was successful at picking up something in the muddy waters.

Greater Yellowlegs, Rusty Blackbirds and Green Winged Teal Ducks Sept 2013

 A quick look in the pond

 Love the position of the head and the reflection in the water.

 Green Winged Teal Duck

 Rusty Blackbird - see the yellow eyes.  Thanks Rayfield for pointing them out.

Great Egret in Sobeys Pond Whitby Sept 2013

 Donna and I visited this little pond and was extremely happy to see an egret, Greater yellowlegs and Green Winged Teal ducks.

Like this shot with egret reflection and two teal ducks under here.
