Description
Peregrine Falcon by Floyd Snyder
Peregrine Falcons, also know as "duck hawks" are found all over the world with the exception of New Zealand, Antarctica and Iceland.
The can reach speeds up to 240 miles an hour, making ducks easy prey for them.
They are a welcome site at a golf course because they help to keep the population of both ducks and ground squirrels under control.
This one was staring be down and I was able to get pretty close to it. Then I noticed that it was guarding its lunch that was lying not that far away. I decided I didn't need to find that goofball and let him enjoy is lunch. The close encounter with this magnificent bird of prey was well worth the two stoke penalty and the $5 golf ball.
