On my special day 2021, we visited the peregrine family on Palos Verdes Peninsula, Los Angeles County, CA. The three fledglings were practicing flying, chasing their parents who dropped prey to them mid-air, then eating the prey, and resting. We watched the parents chase a Eurasian Collared-dove which escaped twice by turning upside down and dropping. When I tried to leave, a juvenile peregrine would take off and fly at eye level along the bluff to wish me a special day. There were even a pod of at least 5 dolphin slowing swimming north. I couldn't ask for a better day!
