Absolutely great shots, Akhan. I'd be very pleased to have shots of this caliber.

Wow excellent series. I have never taken a picture of falcon before. Last weekend I found a place where they nest during spring about 45 minutes away from where I live. I will definitely visit there. They even have a view deck for the falcons. The thing is I bring our visitor in this place all the time but never saw the sign only last weekend.
