Peregrines at Torrey Pines State Beach : November 2018-February 2019

November 20, 2018

Last season's female (color band on right leg) and male (color band on left leg) were on the cliffs.
A third adult showed up and some dogfighting ensued before all three flew off.

Both adults showed up in the afternoon, visited the nest site, patrolled the cliffs, and wandered away. I later found them perched by the lagoon.

An adult was circling when I arrived, then chased a rock pigeon around the parking lot (pigeon got away).

Both adults were perched on the cliff in the afternoon. A juvenile showed up and got chased around.
This may be my first sighting of the new male, who doesn't appear to have any leg bands.
