Peregrines at Torrey Pines State Beach : Jan 2021

January 1, 2021

There was a rockslide the day before just south of the nest
More gulls swallowing those "things", which I learned were sweet potato sea cucumbers (Molpadia arenicola). They're quite slimy.

Both of the adults made a showing today. A kestrel was busy pestering a hawk at the north end of the cliff.

Both adults were on the cliff when I walked by. I went up the cliff trail and didn't check again after.

Did the long walk down to Blacks Beach again. The falcons weren't around at 3p when I started, but they were on the cliffs watching the sunset on my way back.
Lots of gulls with sea cucumbers.
