Peregrines at Torrey Pines State Beach : Nov-Dec 2020

November 12, 2020

Both of the Torrey Pines falcons were out flying today, plus a (presumably wild) juvenile near Blacks Beach.

I saw the female briefly before she wandered off. It was quite windy which carried the spray from the breakers.

No sign of the falcons today.
