p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Peregrines: Feeding Series

The tercel or male peregrine falcon does most of the hunting in the courtship and also later on when its time to feed the chicks. This particular tercel usually transfers his catch to the female who then feeds the chicks herself. All still except for #1 were taken with Ted's 1dX.

Thanks buddy.

Warning: gore in the videos. The first video is 7d ii, 500 ii and 2X iii at 3200 iso with Sennheiser MKE-400 mic:

The second video is 7dii and 500 f4 I think. The video suffers from heat shimmer and I could not recompose as it was shot remotely from a hide with the cam ranger and an iPad.:

Thanks for the comments Morris. No body problems, I just upgraded lenses and bodies over the summer.

Wonderful set! You sure captured their predatory and defensive looks in their quest to take down and consume their kills.Their looks almost go right through me!

Thanks for posting.
