[EBB Sightings] Castle Rock Peregrine Falcons

Had excellent viewing of three peregrine juveniles and the two adults 
this afternoon, Sunday, June 5, approximately 3-4pm. The male was out 
hunting most of the time while the female sat at the very top of the 
rock where the nesting cave is located.

The juveniles were testing their wings and didn't seem to go too far 
from the top of the cliff. The adults periodically dive bombed the nest 
of the great horned owls which is located lower down and to the left of 
the peregrine nest.

Thanks to Doug Bell, a falcon specialist with EB Regional Parks, we 
became familiar with the cries of the juveniles and the adults and were 
able to get better views of them through his scope.
