:) Hello Marek! Welcome to the Bird Forum!
This looks like a Peregrine Falcon!
Very nice shots! I love the way they can turn their head 180 degrees...

Very interesting shots, Marek.
Those falcons do well on man-made cliffs in our big cities. As long as there are pigeons around.;)

Very nice Marek. Probably the best shot of a wild Peregrine I've seen. Is there a nest near your office? What an opportunity that would be. :)

Hi,
Thanks very much.
Pictures are taken at Felmilab Chicago. 10th floor Wilson Hall.
I’m only visiting from time to time. Never too much time for fun.
I was told they (Falcons) have nest.
Next time I will dedicate some time to find it.
Picture with office?
For me is showing environment, unusual environment.

Interesting bio on the bird. We have 3 nesting pair in our town and they have put nest boxes on the rooves of three tall buildings downtown. There is no way to get good shots of them there, but they can be seen in the nearby wetlands on occasion.
