Peregrine Falcons

Juvenile Peregrine Falcon "hunting" a stick in the air. The juveniles often play and hone their valuable hunting skills with inanimate objects such as sticks. This falcon flew up with the stick in its talons, released it and then faced away so it would not see the stick falling. It would then roll over, spot the stick and dive down to catch it as seen here.
