Hi, Reddog,
Two well-captured B.I.F,s! Good job!
However, the second bird, identified as a peregrine, looks very much like a captive-bred peregrine X lanner hybrid or possibly a juvenile lander falcon. Since it is a trained bird flown in falconry ( note the end of the leather jess just above the base of the tail on its right side ) you should be able to check with the licensed falconer / owner about its parentage.
In general, it is considered appropriate (in fact, , honestly essential...) to identify animals that are photographed under captive or controlled, trained circumstances to differentiate them from the excellent images you have made of free-living wild individuals.
Keep up the good work.
I was really confused because you are speaking about a post from 2014. Those were taken at the L.A Zoo bird show! I don't ever recall saying they were wild but I attached some wild Raptors I took today! Sorry for the confusion, that was not my intention!
Best regards,
Dave
