This male peregrine falcon just made a kill and he made his way back to the nest area. But he landed on the ledge further down past the nest. Frankly, I don’t know why he didn’t fly directly to the nest. Maybe the nest is more the territory of the female falcon. Who knows.
Anyway, the female spotted him or more like, she spotted the kill pretty fast and she rushed towards him and grabbed the food from him. He looked a little bit upset for whatever reasons, maybe just instinctively, making a protesting sound but immediately she screamed at him. From the expression and the interaction between the two I got the impression that she basically yelled at him, which translated into our human language like “I am feeding your kids, and you better shut up” or something like that and what he could do was just watch her fly away.
Thank you for visiting and please feel free to leave any feedback,

1, 2, 4, 6, 7 and 8 are my favorites here Josh. Super shooting.
Watching the interaction of animal couples can be quite amusing. A few years ago I watched an osprey couple building there nest in the spring. The male left and came back empty handed. The female picked up a stick with her beak and started hitting him. He left and came back with sticks.

Thank you for your kind words, Morris! Yes, I do enjoy their interaction and find it amusing. Of course, we relate their behavior to ours, which makes it more entertaining.
