The Butcher's Apron
This is from my 2nd of 4 trips to the Peregrines. The female is such a prolific hunter of Gulls that she has a permanent bloodstain on her lower chest. It's just amazing to see her fly in with a bird at least her weight. The parents seemed to become much more easygoing once the fledglings are able to fly, which happened a week or so after this shot. My girlfriend's son and I were dove on by this bird, just for walking on the beach on this day.
