Peregrine Falcon & Selfie
This peregrine falcon is part of a breeding program.

The photographer reflected in the falcon’s eye.
This week, Cheri and WordPress challenged us to post a selfie. Mine is small and subtle, but one from a favorite genre: images reflected in eyes.

That IS subtle. Cool too.
Thanks, I’m glad you like it! Ordinarily I’m not a big fan of getting so close to wild creatures that I can find my reflection in their eyes. In ths case, though, the falconer had brought birds to a nature center program for the public, and so we weren’t endangering them. He has been raising falcons and bald eagles from eggs for a couple of decades. Now that’s a job I’d love to have.
How extremely clever of you!
Thanks! The falcon did all the hard work, though.
EXCELLENT and very clever! 🙂
Glad you like it, thanks!
Can’t believe you stuck an arrow in that guy’s eye!! 🙂

Rofl, what a fun comment! Thanks, glad you like it.
I like those kinds of selfies, too! Much better than turning the camera on oneself!
Thank you, and I agree! There’s only one side of the camera for me – behind it.
Even if he was used to it..It is great!!!
Thanks again! So glad you like the falcon.
Oh my Babsje – now THAT is a creative response 🙂 Well done.
Many thanks, Tina! It was fun thinking about how to reply to this challenge, and I’m glad you like the falcon’s eye.
Ha! That’s great!
Thanks, Phil, so glad you like it – I had fun with this challenge, as you can tell!
Great photo and selfie!
So glad you like it, thanks Charlotte!
