La Jolla Cove : March 21, 2021

The falcons weren't evident when I arrived around 3:20, so I checked out the nesting cormorants nearby. The male falcon showed up later in the afternoon with food and plucked it on the cliff, then took it towards the nest. The female flew out with to eat on the cliff, before switching with the male again.
