Peregrine Falcons at La Jolla : May 2014

May 18, 2014

This was the first time I went looking for the peregrine family at La Jolla. I've been told they have four chicks this year - I saw three plus the parents today. The juveniles appear about 2-3 weeks further along than the ones at Torrey Pines.

I just missed the start of the morning action when one of the large juveniles stole a bird from mom. There was lots of moving around on different perches, so it was hard to keep them straight, but I saw the whole family today.
