p.1 #1 · Interaction between 2 peregrine falcon siblings
These images were captured back in August. The larger female on the left was about to take her maiden flight and it did fly around the following week when I came back to the location. They were saying hello and showing sibling affection to each other on the ledge, attracting a large crowd of photographers. At the end, the male juvenile falcon got up and walked to the edge and flew away. I did get the take off sequence but it flew away from our point of view towards the ocean side and understandably so. I didn't bother including those.
The last image from my phone shows the crowd. There are more folks on the right and actually, there is another spot somewhere else where they fed where the parents drop off the kill there. So, maybe there were approximately 40 photographers and bird enthusiasts that morning.

Great behavior shots of the beautiful birds. And wow wildlife photography seems different over there, here in Norway we wildlife shooters pay the price of our ancestors killing all the animals for 1000s of years.
