raptor prey (was sea eagle observation) nowPeregrine stategy

[Penny Brockman <>]

Changing species (just a bit) I once saw a Northern Giant Petrel off 
Stewart Island, New Zealand, swiftly leave its nest where it had 
certanly one nestling, snatch a White-fronted Tern from a group that 
were circling just opposite its nest and themselves nesting in the 
adjacent cliff face, clip off the tern's head, catch the body before it 
fell, and return to its nest to dismember the remains.  Wasn't 
interested at all in the head.
