Training on rifle-range, shot blue bird (9,6)
I believe the answer is:
peregrine falcon
'blue bird' is the definition.
'peregrine falcon' can be an answer for 'bird' (peregrine falcon is a kind of bird). I am not certain of the 'blue' bit.
'training on rifle-range shot' is the wordplay.
'training' becomes 'pecon' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'on' indicates putting letters inside (as in clothing \'on\' a person).
'shot' indicates an anagram.
'rifle'+'range'='riflerange'
'riflerange' is an anagram of 'regrinefal'.
'pecon' placed around 'regrinefal' is 'PEREGRINE FALCON'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for peregrine falcon that I've seen before include "up in the air?" , "bird?" , "She kills small creatures" .)
