Oh. Very nice. Love his expression. Looks like he is screaming as he comes towards you.

Beautiful shot of a beautiful bird!
Magnificent animals. Fastest diving birds in the world, as I recall. Around 200MPH. Over the years a number of skydivers have taken their pet Perigrines skydiving with them. I had the pleasure of being on one of those jumps. Releasing the bird as we exited the plane at 13,500' would cause immediate separation between it and us but it closed on us in seconds. Much faster then any human. No surprise there. You could see it push its folded wings out to slow down to our freefall speed. About 120MPH. Skydivers love to claim that they can "fly", but, watching that bird made it very clear that even the best of us is clumsy and not really in our element. We'll still claim we are though!
