This little fella is just 4wks old. This baby Peregrine Falcon had just finished his sushi lunch. Peregrine's prefer to prey on small to medium sized seabirds, but can also quickly take down a bird as large as a Mallard. DDT was the cause of a decline, again tho, since the banning of DDT the Peregrines are making a dramatic comeback. Taken in ALdergrove at the GVZ, B.C.
