Peregrine Falcon at Ashbridges Bay in Toronto

Suddenly all the gulls flew from the beach. It wasn't dogs or people. It was this adult Peregrine Falcon. 12 July 2017

 

VIDEO of Peregrine hopping and sipping water.

The Peregrine stalked about but was only taking sips of water. Some gulls came back at a safe distance. It watched them but did not attack.

 

It's a molting adult. Birds of prey molt during the summer. It maybe one of the local breeders. I couldn't read the band
