This shot is a bit more shaky but it shows the beak and the tail better.
It was more less an accident that we spotted this Laughing Falcon sitting on a branch right in an opening in the trees. Nice!

This is a bird that is always nice to see. It is great to see them gathering. I probably ave better shots elsewhere. Will post them when I find them.

This shot, however bad, shows it is a female. She has the white band on the chest.
