A few weeks ago, I was out at Nisqually and had the pleasure of seeing a
pair of Peregrines both feeding on a kill out on the icy marsh. They
drove off a crow, then a gull, but eventually lost their meal when a
Bald Eagle came down and flew off with it.
Before the eagle came, I could see that one bird was feeding the other
from the kill. I assumed that it would be the male feeding the female,
but the person on the scope said that it was the larger bird feeding the
smaller one, so presumably the female was feeding the male. This was
behavior I had never seen before. Anyone know about pair-bond feeding of
Peregrines?
