Observation details
Looks like a Peregrine Falcon, HOWEVER I have taken HUNDREDS of photos of peregrines adult and immature. This would be the first Peregrine Falcon I've photographed without a dark hood and such a light head. I admit the photo is blurry, but taken from a rocking boat at a great distance. Herring Gull for comparison was chasing it.
