Media notes
Immature bird along ledge. A second bird was out of view. Both were eating prey while perched on this rock.
Observation details
Two immature falcons seen on cliffs and often heard calling for adults. Both birds had heavy vertical brownish streaking on breasts, grayish caps and beaks. Seen in flight, both exhibited inefficient wing beats and appeared "awkward" when landing on ledge as well as walking around edges of cliff. They spent most of the time in one particular area we called "the diving board:" A flat rock balanced on the cliff edge that was their perch; white wash was visible beneath this perch. One adult was seen several times flying overhead, and a second one perched near fledglings. This peregrine had dark cap, yellowish beak, white breast with visible light horizontal barring. Will assume the two adults are a mating pair.
