At 12:47 - PEFA called again, landed on cliff. 13:20 - One falcon flies out of hole in scond southern most bluff, other pokes its head out, flies to southernmost bluff, has some piece of food in its claws. Lands in unseen position, presumabely to eat. 13:50 - Both birds appeared. Lots of calling. One lands, has prey and alternates calling and eating for ~ 4 min. Falcon poops while eating. Other falcon appears, lands near feeding individual, and mounts her from behind briefly in mating position.
