This is the male peregrine again with some meager leftovers for the juvis on the cliff face below. This shot was taken after it left the cliff face and dove down and banked to the right out over the water where the chicks were nesting out of sight. I metered off the water so I wouldn't blow out any bright spots and was faced with the usual foggy, overcast conditions that we face at this time of the year in southern California along the coast. It might actually make for better images as the lighting is very even in the mornings. When the sun comes out in the late morning around 11 or 12, you are faced with shooting almost directly into the sun so the fog is the only thing that makes shooting these birds at this location tolerable.
Really not sure why the male kept carrying around these small, leftover morsels, and delivering them to the nest sight. Not crazy about the color of the water. Wish it was more of a blue instead of this greenish color.
Although this image was cropped pretty significantly, it held up pretty well so I thought I would share this one with you. Hope you are not getting sick of the peregrines yet cause I'd love to share some of the Juvis with you all.
Thanks for having a look see and as always, please share your comments with me.
