We have a lot peregrine falcons in western Mass. When I worked at UMass, my office in one of the oldest buildings included two 6-foot high, single-pane, double-hung windows. My desk faced a brick wall opposite those windows so I had good light coming from behind all day. One morning, I missed my bus and was a few minutes late. Between when I was due and when I got there, a peregrine falcon chasing a smaller bird flew right through one of the those windows, hit the bricks above my computer monitor and sprayed the room with a million shards of window glass. They mean business.

Wow., and how did the falcon make out?
These are spectacular photos, Greg! Thanks for sharing.
