Peregrine Falcon Dinner (slightly graphic)

We were looking for a lighthouse on the shore of Lake Superior. We heard gulls yelling and looked over, this young Peregrine and another young Peregrine fighting over a gull. In the end, after a fierce fight, this Peregrine killed the other, swam to shore dragging it behind and ate it right in front of us. We watched him for well over an hour before the thunder and lightening made us leave.

I had no idea they would eat their own. I have to wonder since they were in the same area and same age if they were not siblings. You will likely see more of this guy :)
