Great photos of peregrines
My colleague at The Record, photographer Beth Balbierz, has a page of great photos of peregrine falcons in today’s edition (Saturday, July 14).
The photos, on Page A-6, include a fledgling peregrine’s first flight atop the Palisades, and the parents’ exchanging food in mid-air.
I provided the text for the photo essay, and saw the parents protecting the nest first-hand earlier this spring.
The Record has put together a nifty slide show of the peregrine family, and it includes an incredible shot of a peregrine flying upside down.
Here is the link to slide show, which I narrate (just hit the triangle in the lower left of that Web page):
