Peregrines at La Jolla Cove : June 2-5, 2019

June 2, 2019

There are three juveniles at La Jolla this year, and all have fledged. This morning, Dad dropped off one meal and Mom did one transfer with a juvenile.

The hummingbird nest looks deserted :(

A pretty quiet afternoon. Dad brought in food and did an exchange, and the juveniles flew around mostly on the north side. They came back to the nest area later in the evening.
