A Prairie Falcon that I thought was a Cooper's Hawk coming in for landing at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum near Tucson. If it's snowing where you are, consider packing up the camera and heading for the desert.

I had to fuss a bit in PP to overcome the washout of back lighting.

Thanks, Tom. I can't change the thread topic but made the text correction. At least I didn't call it a Peregrine. <G>
