Finally got the camera out and had a great day at Sandy Hook on New Year's Eve. We spotted this Peregrine on a pole along the road and it posed for pictures until I filled up my CF card. I noticed a band on it's left leg after I started PP and reported it via the web. The band was green with either a B or 8 and a 4. Thanks for looking!

Outstanding photos. You know, I usually shoot with 8 GB cards and am going to start carrying a second one at all times for situations like yours. Well done.

Grab 2 while you're at it! I think Costco is still running a special on 8 GB CF cards.
