    I've received many remarkable nature photographs over the years, but this photo of a nesting falcon is perhaps one of the best nature shots that I've ever seen. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Nature is truly breathtaking!

    I've sent this to most of my older friends. The younger ones probably have never seen a falcon and wouldn't recognize it.

    I didn't know that gum trees produced falcons.
    Only in Oz, right?

    All I can say is that I hope that the nest doesn't produce young Falcons.
