Observation details
The/a Lanner Falcon was back (presumed of course to be from the Torrey Pines Glider Port). This time it repeatedly dive-bombed the female Peregrine. Quite a show. Yesterday I had wondered why it was not avoiding the much larger female Peregrine, but today I find it was not afraid to harass her. The Peregrine finally got ticked and got up after it, chasing it almost to Flat Rock, back toward the Glider Port. It was no contest.
