Peregrines at Torrey Pines State Beach : June 7, 2019

June 7, 2019

Another cloudy day. After an hour on the beach, the male showed up without food, so I moved up to the trail. Apparently, after I left the beach, he retrieved food from a stash and did an exchange - 11:55 per another photographer. I missed the next couple of food exchanges, and the male showed up a few more times during the afternoon, presumably with food, but I can't say for sure.
