Peregrines

I am assuming that this adult is Peale's Peregrine and a juvenile Peale's? it appears too dark with an overly thick moustachial for Tundra ? Both Campbell River, Vancouver Island September 2018 -- the thing that you notice immediately though is just how unconcerned raptors are by humans contra this country where persecution over centuries has created the most wary raptors on the planet -- I had Merlins fly directly towards me several time and Peregrines passed within 30 feet unconcerned while Cooper's Hawks just seem to be daft see that post;
some photos of 1cy Peale's here
