Still shots of Peregrine Falcons catching a Pigeon.

While I took video (see 'Peregrine falcons catch a pigeon' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9y4pMGN0GJw ) on a Sanyo Xacti VPC-FH1, Dr Rob Davies took these photographs with his Canon EOS 1D Mark IV and 500mm F4 Lens.

looks to me like two jerkoffs took a crate of homing pigeons and two trained falcons and kept releasing pigeons and photographing until you got your wonderful pictures. Animal cruelty is excellent indicator sign of non caucasian blood, or psychological defect. in my opinion.

@7mikethebike Ha ha ha! And racism isn't a psychological defect? !!! The pigeon was flying by ( could have been a homer for all I know) and the falcons wild, feeding 4 young nearby...nature in action! Every living thing you look at is partly the way it is because of predation or competition in some form or other... you are free to like that or not like it

@MrSuperstar2703 I know a guy who claimed he threw a nest of peregrine falcons off the outerbridge while he was working there for the port authority of NY/NJ. He is just as stupid as the falconers . I think some people should go off the bridge, personally.
