Yesterday, while I was waiting for my friend to fix his antique vehicle on the side of a country road I got to watch a pair of Peregrines chasing and attacking a very young eagle for several minutes. Then I watched the eagle once it got clear of them for a while.

I have never seen a Peregrine catching prey yet but I hope to someday, not concerned if there's a camera involved.
