Description
WIldlife photograph by Dawn Currie. A solitary Perigrine Falcon calls out defending his territory from would-be interlopers. Photographed at Blue Cypress Lake near Vero Beach, FL.
Peregrine Falcons catch medium-sized birds in the air with swift, spectacular dives, called stoops. In cities they are masterful at catching pigeons. Elsewhere they feed especially on shorebirds and ducks. They often sit on high perches, waiting for the right opportunity to make their aerial assault.
