Thanks! Yes, I’ve used SmugMug for several years. They take a cut but make selling super easy.

Mike Henry @onlyveesaz.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Excellent! I look forward to it.

Peregrine Falcon tearing its prey apart

Mike Henry @onlyveesaz.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Until recently I wasn’t aware how close they were to extinction. Falconers played a crucial role in bringing them back.

Mike Henry @onlyveesaz.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

I am 100% on board with protecting them.

Mike Henry @onlyveesaz.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Went for the Prairie Falcon, stayed for the Peregrine.

Fall in Arizona is when falcons return to the desert. I spotted this Peregrine yesterday morning at daybreak.
