Peregrines at Point Fermin (San Pedro) : June 5, 2018

June 5, 2018

Both adults at Point Fermin are banded - 03D on the female's left leg, 02Z on male's right - and they have 3 chicks.
The birds stayed mostly perched all morning - flights were brief. After giving up around 12:40, another photographer reported a food exchange within minutes.
