Prairie Falcon
What do you get when you put a candle in a suit of armor?
A knight light.
Interesting Fact: Prairie Falcons are among the species of birds that seem to play—they’ve been seen dropping dried cow manure in midair and then diving to catch it. Like young ball players flipping a baseball to themselves, this may be a way to sharpen their coordination skills. ( https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Prairie_Falcon/overview )

I just took a similar photo and someone told me it was a cooper’s hawk. Then someone else told me it was an adolescent red tailed hawk. Now I’m looking at your photo wondering if it’s a falcon after all. I am in Florida though. Beautiful photo.
Those are some awesome photos you took, I am not 100% sure what bird of prey you got there but I am also going to throw a Broad-winged hawk possibility into the mix. Thank you very much for stopping by and sharing with us. Happy Blogging! 🙂

What a beauty – I wonder if I have seen one but not recognized it?
Very appropriate thinking specially with the Covid situ in many places around the world.
Great capture!
