Peale's territory
This is how I often find falcons on a beach in a lonely sheltered place.

I love the black and white coloring of Peales falcons.

Surf attack
My biologist friends tell me shorebirds try to hide among the waves for safety. Successful or not the falcons returned to the beach soaking wet after these attacks.
