Peregrines at Torrey Pines State Beach : Early April 2021

A hiking day rather than falcon-watching day, but I did spot the female briefly.

After noting the old nest site had been empty looking for a while, I learned where the new nest site is today. The male brought in food, but instead of an aerial transfer, the female flew over and took it on the ground.
