Peregrine Falcon on Skyscraper Ledge Midsummer Mist in beside a tidal inlet near San Lorenzo

Peregrine Falcon on Skyscraper Ledge Midsummer Mist

by Mei Strickland

Thick white mist rests on the air, softening the edges of a concrete ledge where a peregrine falcon perches. The bird's slate-gray back feathers contrast with the lighter, mottled chest plumage. Dappled sunlight falls through nearby leaves, casting shifting patches of bright yellow and deep shadow across the stone surface. The city skyline fades into the fog behind the raptor, while the dark water of the tidal inlet remains barely visible below. The falcon's sharp, hooked beak points downward, and its yellow eye ring stands out against the gray feathers. one drop of condensation rests on the rough concrete edge near the bird's talons, mirroring the damp morning air.
