@jiethfleig98 - no problems, I added a photo of a wedge-tailed Eagle and will add other raptors later. Enjoy.

Very nice photo. I just did a little reading up on Peregrines. I had no idea they were such a widespread species. We've had a pair nesting on the roof of the University of Massachusetts library for years. I love watching them while I'm on my lunch break.
