A Marbled Godwit looking upward for Peregrine Falcons. I spent two days on the Dry Tortugas during the Fall migration, and was lucky to see a number of falcons. I was so impressed with how the terns, the plovers, and other birds would know how to take flight when the falcon was overhead. In fact, in two days I didn't see a single falcon even come close to a successful hunt.
There were some poles in the background, so I blurred the top green part in Photoshop.
