Birds and Nature

I spotted this juvenile Peregrine Falcon driving on Red Canyon Road north of Canon City last week. Though I used a 600mm (equivalent) lens and cropped the pic severely, since it was perched 400-500 feet away I couldn't enlarge it more than this. Just to give some perspective, the pic below is what the pic above looked like before I cropped it to enlarge the Peregrine. SeEtta

On my way home from Red Canyon Park I spotted an accipiter fly into some shrubs on the side of the road just ahead. I stopped my car and got these pics of this juvenile Cooper's Hawk trying to figure out where all the little birdies it was after went. SeEtta
