| A peregrine falcon lands on a dead tree high on a ridge overlooking the Umpqua River in rural western Oregon near Elkton on Friday, Oct. 12, 2018. According to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, peregrine falcons are described as the fastest animal on the planet, and have been recorded reaching speeds in excess of 240 miles an hour in dives after prey. |

| The amazing peregrine falcon perches on the tree. There were actually a pair of the birds together when I first spotted them. |
