Happy Friday! Peregrine ingenuity at work in Ohio, California, and London (UK).

• Peregrines capture birds in flight. Bats fly. In the photo above “Gusto” in northeastern Ohio has a bat in his talons.

• Defend the kids! Diane Wu captured a mother peregrine chasing a brown pelican away from her nest by hitting its enormous beak 5 times!

• Getting up on the wall: This juvenile peregrine struggled to get up on the wall so she used a little wing assist.

Unconventional way to get onto the wall… And she'd managed a jump a few minutes before. But if it works who are we to judge? ? pic.twitter.com/jUNM8VvFLJ
