Peregrines at Torrey Pines : June 12, 2017

June 12, 2017

I was out at Torrey Pines for a long 10 hour day! Quite a bit of activity with a juvenile exploring the beach, some dogfights, chases, and food exchanges. A juvenile had gone swimming around mid-day yesterday, so several photographers were waiting on the beach hoping for a repeat. It seemed a bit more shy of the water today.

A long food exchange sequence. It's not clear if Mom couldn't or wouldn't let go of the food.
