These images were captured last summer when the peregrine falcon chicks could fly already but it was still quite clumsy. A week later they were ready for some mid-air food transfers...

Mom just landed on the ledge, and she carried a kill with her. She looked around and called out to her chicks to join her for breakfast. It didn’t take long and one of the chicks showed up.

Thank you for stopping by and please feel free to leave your feedback, any feedback for that matter.

Beautiful series that could also be included in a behavioral ornithology textbook!

Thank you very much, Shirley! I wouldn’t mind “donating” those images in the name of education.

Excellent set Joshua. Great story and that stare in 2 could scare anyone but the most dedicated. 5 is my favorite, a super food exchange.

Thank you very much, Juan! I understand and feel that way but there are significantly more pigeons in the area than falcons. I would guess that between both the mother and father falcons would bring back at least 10 pigeons/other birds in a day. But it didn’t seem to put a dent in the number of birds out there.
