My balcony is still full of surprises. A peregrine falcon came here today. He sat there long enough that I managed to use three lenses and two cameras ;)

What a wonderful surprise indeed and certainly an obliging model. Wish I had visitors like that, I'm quite envious...

Thanks :) It was an amazing encounter.
At first, I took pictures through the glass. These photos are worse, but you can see the bird from a different angle.

Amazing shots. I feel Brandy's jealousy (a bit)
I love #5, sharp on the eyes but the beak is already OoF

That's one very fine specimen of a peregrine falcon in one of the worlds largest metropolises. I guess there's no shortage of pigeons and rats to feast on.
Spectacular shots of which my favourite is #3.
Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for your comments
There's plenty of food for them ;)
New York City has the highest concentration of peregrine falcon in the world.

That's a beauty Robert! Did you consider cropping a bit more from the left side? I feel that would improve the balance a bit in this shot
