Even though they’re the most common falcon in North America, I’ve only seen this small bird a handful of times in the many years I’ve been photographing so I was very happy to catch this one perched on a lichen covered branch. These little fellas can reach speeds of up to 40mph flying flat or 60mph when diving.
