I was following a juv. Peregrine last week at Sherwood Island, it had it's eyes on a model airplane that was in the air, until a Golden Eagle passed... the PEFA followed the Eagle off to the west.
I started thinking, and drove over to asked the pilot if their planes were ever harassed by Peregrine Falcons, he said "no, and he was sure the bird would lose"
A few seconds of silence went by and I said "Really?" he thought a few moments and replied "well maybe not"
Cool Video!
By the way, we still have two RUBY'S here every day, down from the 3-6 from a week or so ago.
