Peregrine falcon feeding juveniles

**WARNING: graphic feeding images**

A well documented peregrine mating pair in Southern California had 3 surviving hatchlings last spring.  I happened to catch one of their feeding sessions.  The juveniles were still working on their aerial maneuvers so mom and dad took care of the hunting duties.

And I think we can all agree that mom's dove is best!

Interesting photos. Nature at its best. Graphic feeding can be seen at a local Chinese buffet.
