These are badass!
I was down at the point at Oak Island last year. There is a sandbar that is submerged at high tide but otherwise occuppied by Pelicans, Skimmers, waders etc. I was watching through binocs and had just turned away to go get my scope when all hell broke loose. I thought that maybe some kids had gotten over to the bar.... I looked back and every bird had taken flight - maybe 400 birds. All except one. When I looked back at the lone shape I could see still on the bar it was a Peregrine that had just nailed a Laughing Gull. I ran and grabbed the scope and watched the dinner show. Took 20 minutes and he/she ate everything except the head, spine and feet. Awesome.
