It goes without saying that I’m a Raptor Guy…big birds and owls have always been my focus. With Peregrines topping the list…the love for these birds began back in 2006 when I became involved with the Manitoba Peregrine Project.
There’s a lot of back-end work that takes place…nest box design, construction, installation, gravel pick-up, road trips, sight checks near and far. Along with yearly clean-up and gravel replacement if necessary.
Bottom line is there is much to be done before there are any photographic rewards.

Why Peregrines…probably because they are endangered and not as commonly seen and photographed as other raptors. The challenge has always been to photograph these birds that fly at Mach Speed.

Over the years I’ve learnt to take the good with the bad…the happy with the sad, as no two days are ever the same.

Each encounter in my books are Special when it comes to Peregrines.
