Nesting Falcon
imgur ^ | 3/2/2018 | unknown

I know that my classmates would recognize a Falcon because they are older and mature. I'm not sure I can say that about their offspring. It is a beautiful sight to see one nesting high up in a magistic Eucalyptus tree!

I've seen many remarkable nature photographs over the years but this photo of a nesting Falcon in an old tree is perhaps the most remarkable nature shot that I've ever seen.

Please send this to your older friends, since the younger ones probably have never seen a falcon, and wouldn't recognize it.

The nests they build must be quite a feat!

Sadly for every near miss video I assume there are the solid hit videos

I can understand, it’s not gory per se, just unbelievable how one walks away unscathed.

Oh man, ha Ha, you got me!

I would love a Falcon. There was a Falcon Futura up at this huge antique car place outside of St Louis, that I had my eye on for a while. One thing that I like about them is that although they’re “classic” cars they did come with factory air conditioning! But alas I need to be practical so it will have to remain a dream for a while. Got a cute Jeep Renegade instead.

Speaking of practicality...some crazy person around here actually has the dream car I never even knew could be...a silver 57 Chevy Bell Air that’s been modified for 4 wheel drive and a tow hitch. Has a little “4x4” badge back on the tail fin panel. Omg it is gorgeous.

Back in the late 1960s we would by 63' Falcons (and Comets) for between 50 and 100 bucks. Straight six three on the tree and easy to work on. Those WERE the days!
