While at Morro Bay last week I was able to get a number of shots of Peregrine falcons taking to the air. Most of the shots are of juvenile Peregrine Falcons just learning to fly. In multiple cases they would open there wings and then chicken out. Eventually they would take off sometimes with encouragement from mom or a sibling. All questions, comments and suggestions are welcome.
This is the third set of shots from this trip.
The first is of the lunar eclipse

The second is of the junior Falcons feeding

The wings went up and he chickened out several times
