Peregrines at La Jolla Cove : May 26, 2016
A good look at some up close activity today. Mom went hunting just below me on the cliff and came up with a dove, which she plucked about 100 feet away. Later in the morning, all three juveniles posed on the branches by the photo landing.

I was back in the afternoon, and got to see a juvenile plucking a bird nearby.
