I saw the most astonishing thing in my backyark today. I was in my kitchen at lunchtime when I saw a large bird land in my backyard. First I thought it was an injured bird;it was very windy today with the aftermath of Hurricane Patricia. Then I realized it was a raptor with a bird it had captured. It was there about 40 minutes eating.
I don't know what kind of raptor it was. It was the right size for a peregrine falcon, and my house is 5 km from an active Peregrine nesting site. I did manage to get a few pictures - very low quality since I was using a simple camera and shooting through the window, as I didn't want to disturb the bird.
