We likely all prefer natural settings for birds but never having photographed a Peregrine Falcon, I dashed to an abandoned water Tower in Baltimore where a pair was nesting.

The plover shot is an excellent image, but that displaying grouse is awesome.

An imposing bird.
Interesting photo all round.
That dead tree obviously gets a fair bit of use. Assume birds hammer the holes in, not a 50mm canon  :p
Good to see these natural settings.

Both are attractive birds...very nice captures, Richard!

Many thanks Mike. I love their company ;-)a
Wish I could put sound with them too.

steveb108 wrote in post #19212302 (external link)
My goodness, Richard, Tasmania has such wonderful looking birds that you capture so well. Now I'm sorry I didn't make it down to Tasmania when I was over to Australia. It was either birds or Hugh Jackman, and the wife was with me, so the birds lost.

Thanks Steve. Yes we have some beautiful birds, but then we all do. I ogle at some over your way.
Most of what I photograph are from my yard, farm etc. There's much vegetation to attract them and they're more used to my presence.

Brian that grouse is magnificent.
Beautifully composed.
So very nice.

Thanks so much, Brian! I kind of rationalized too that Peregrines have often traded cliffs for skyscrapers, bridges, and transmission towers, so the water tower was representative of how they've adapted to man-made objects.

Both are wonderful images, Brian. The ruffed grouse is a killer shot, and the Semipalmated plover is so sharp and lifelike looking.

Great capture, Steve. This guy is definitely giving you the "stink eye." I'll bet there are no pigeon problems there.:-)

Awesome, Ed!

Many thanks, Richard. This shot was taken along our San Joaquin river and there quite a few old dead trees to be found there. Our Acorn woodpeckers are responsible for most of the holes in the dead trees. Many birds use these holes as places to build their nests.

Thank you, Mike! No question, the guy was not at all happy to see me. And come to think of it, no pigeons!
