This handsome adult peregrine had just captured a shorebird (dunlin?) and had begun eating it when it suddenly assumed this mantling pose. Within seconds a juvenile peregrine streaked in to try steeling the prey and the chase was on. They circled and dived for several minutes getting farther and farther away until they were out of sight. I wish I could have gotten closer for this and many other images but was still pleased with the results. Overcast day.
