Peregrines are regulars on the Farallones, both residents and migrants. They eat whatever birds they can catch, including stuff that we want to see--great photos were taken last year of an Acorn Woodpecker (a rare bird here!) in the talons of a Peregrine.

| Sometimes Peregrines go after Tufted Puffins--a very difficult target. We almost never find Puffin pieces that show signs of Peregrine depredation. This puffin escaped--barely. |
Ahhh! We've been surpassed!
