Peregrine Fledglings in Flight

Looking at Herb's website, I was alerted that the Peregrine Falcons of Torrey Pines State Beach had  fledged so it was time for me to go there and see if I could capture a few shots.

The weather was great this morning with no marine layer lingering around like it has been for the last few days. I walked to the north viewpoint on  Guy Fleming Trail  and found the place full of photographers waiting for the fledglings to make their appearance. The view is amazing and the ocean breeze kept everyone cool in anticipation of the flight action that we all came to see. Someone yelled out that there was one flying and the cameras started to click like we were all at the red carpet in Hollywood. Here are some flight shots of the newly fledged Peregrine Falcons that I shot today. There are a total of four fledglings but they are hard to ID. I have to say the activity was fast and furious as they took to the air practicing hunting and defensive maneuvers. The show was absolutely thrilling to watch. 































































Have a super week everyone!
