While photographing Peregrine Falcon fledges eating the meal Mama brought them, this bottle struck a discordant note. The female on the left while moving around on the slope dislodged the bottle and it fell 50 feet to the rocks below and broke.

Disappointing to see trash like this in precious creatures environment?

Comments welcome

Hi Patrick,
Nice.... At least this bottle will return to where it came from and once again become sand in the sea. It's the plastic that bugs me.

"Disappointing" would be an understatement Patrick

I agree with Charlie about the glass vs plastic, but even so..
Great documentary post

Interesting composition here Patrick, looks like party birds to me. Too bad they had to litter. Love the colors and the detail in their feathers. Interesting shot.

Patrick,
This looks like one heck of a beach party!
It is a crying same that 'Morons' don't have a clue that littering is so wrong.
Congratulations on the WP . . .
