To catch a shadow

  

I made a quick stop this morning (8 September 2022) when I noticed two Peregrine Falcons on the top of sea stack off Highway 1 near Gleason Beach.

When one of them dove, I tried to get a photo of the falcon in a stoop.  I was so focused on the bird, that I missed the shadow entirely until I downloaded the photos after dinner.  Pretty cool!

  3. Thanks, everyone!

    I, too, like the combination of the colors of the falcon's breast/belly feathers with the lichens on the rocks. She has a wonderful place to perch!
