Agreed though that they aren't cold-blooded. I'll just leave this xkcd comic here; it's one of my faves: https://xkcd.com/1211/<br /><br />How often does one observe the underside of a peregrine foot?

I've actually had a few encounters, only once with a decent camera though. I think they are usually too full to move! one juv I had too walk by on the sandbar during a survey didn't even flinch and his crop was super full. Do shorebirds have tryptophan? :) They also seem to give less fucks when the food is too good to pass up, like when I'm right next to the avocet colony and they nab a bird off a nest!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03838522439318984362noreply@blogger.com
