As most of you know, I work at a hotel... we just got a new bird that hangs around at the hotel, a Peregrine Falcon... one of my favorite birds of prey!

Well, I've been watching this nest of Ringneck Doves for about 2 weeks, and I saw the Falcon get the mother dove yesterday... eeks! So I go and get the huge pool skimmer to get the babies out of the nest, and I come up, and they are both gone... I see him chewing up a sparrow in the meantime... this thing is hungry! I mistakenly thought it was a juvenille Red Tailed Hawk, but it is clearly a Peregrine Falcon...

Here is usually what these birds of prey usually eat... Falcons eat birds, Hawks eat rodents, and Eagles eat fish and sometimes rodents... easy way to attempt to identify the bird you spot...

(will try and get pics of him today... hopefully I can get a digital camera to use)
