Practice Flight

Peregrine falcon fledgling released the Port in Elizabeth, NJ, after being rehabbed due to dehydration. This chick and his brother were soon reunited w/mom. I snapped this shot of him trying out his new flight feathers. Peregrines are a threatened species in NJ so these guys were a welcome site.
