It's been a while, but I went out to do some birding once the sun came out finally! Managed to find a beautiful Merlin Falcon!

A Merlin falcon rises from a hay bale, framed by autumn’s glow. A wild moment of strength and grace.

"Freedom begins the moment the wings leave the earth."

A Merlin falcon perched in calm focus, waiting and watching the open skies.

“Even in stillness, the hunter waits with purpose.”

Not the best quality but I finally saw my first #PeregrineFalcon! It snatched a #YellowheadedBlackbird out of the air, and a #MerlinFalcon was chasing it down to steal it's meal. It was quite the sight!

Today is #NationalWildlifeDay.
A day to focus on the ongoing efforts to conserve endangered wild animals: birds, mammals, reptiles, fish, marine mammals, insects.
I took the images featured here in #BC, #Alberta, & %Ontario.

I took this photo in 2019 just after I started my photography journey. As I learn more and more of the software I use, I find myself going back to old photos and re-editing them.
