Found this guy at Merritt Island FL yesterday morning. I was told by a member of the Audubon Club that sightings of a Peregrine Falcon are no more than one a year here. It's my first sighting ever so this one is defiantly going to market at my next show.

simple typo's sometimes lead to funny comebacks. At least funny to me. I think you mean definitely, unless the next show is very anti-bird.

But that is a great shot and find. Can't say I've ever seen on except on TV.

Thanks guys! Holy crap another "Brain Fart" on my part. Little old age and a little Jack D. does not make for good typing.

Spinner:rolleyes:

Darn near walked by the bird, at first I thought it was a red shouldered hawk could not see it well till I got it in the 500 lens.

That particular typo has happened so often that I put "definitely" in my word list (see sig). I think maybe autofill on some people's devices is doing it. Those durn programmers!

Yeah, I really have to watch the autocorrect. It constantly screws stuff up.
