Peregrines at Torrey Pines State Beach : April 24-25, 2019

April 24, 2019

After all the activity of the last couple days, today was slow. The female chased some pelicans and appeared to be waiting for the male. When he finally landed to the north with some food, she went and took it from him on the ground, and brought it back to the nest.
