Peregrines at Torrey Pines State Beach : April 2-17, 2019

Scoping out the new nest site from the air - about 700 ft up and 1/4 mile offshore.

Not much happened this afternoon. The female was perched on the cliff, the male presumably on the nest - I didn't see him at all today.
Late in the evening the female flew off after something to the north.

The male was out flying around this afternoon. He brought in some food in the evening but ate it himself. I didn't see the female at all today.
