Peregrines at Torrey Pines State Beach : June 1-5, 2016
June 1, 2016
I avoided Torrey Pines over the Memorial Day weekend. Two juveniles fledged during that time. One was found with a hurt leg Monday (30th) AM on the beach below the nest, and rescued by Project Wildlife. The good action was in progress as I arrived, with the parents trolling the juveniles with food. No other feeding was evident before I left around 6:30.
An overcast afternoon with poor lighting conditions. A little dogfighting, then relatively quiet. No feeding activity, but an adult looked to be heading out over the lagoon at 7p.
The morning started foggy and it lifted a little, but the sun didn't make it out while I was there. There were some early scuffles, but I wound up watching the runt while the others appeared to be doing most of the dogfighting.
