A male Peregrine Falcon offering food to a recent fledging.
Beobachtungsdetails
Observed a pair of Peregrine Falcons engaged in aggressive interaction at the nest site for reasons unclear to me. At approximately 12:30 p.m., an adult male returned to the nesting ledge, calling repeatedly from one corner as the female arrived and appeared to scold him before physically attacking. Around 3:30 p.m., the same male was observed actively feeding the recently fledged young, delivering prey items and transferring them mid-air. The young practiced catching and carrying prey to nearby perches to feed independently, consistent with typical post-fledging hunting instruction.
