Peregrine and whimbrel
Chicks are going on 3 weeks and food demands are increasing. I would say 80% of the food brought in is by the male. I think she probably killed this bird herself, because a whimbrel is a pretty large bird for a male to handle. In any event it is always a treat to see a large shorebird brought in. Can't really tell it is whimbrel from the image, but other images verify that it is.
