Peregrines are badasses. I have been on the side of a cliff in Yosemite and have watched them in full dive mere feet from the rock wall like a bullet and they push their talons forward and grab a swallow from the air at speed. Truly amazing birds.

I bet that you were stunned to see that and now you know how difficult it is to get them in a prey capture strike. Brilliant birds and I adore them.

You have to put yourself in the middle of their hunting grounds and the only way to do that is on the side of a cliff. It could be possible with a drone to catch it as long as the falcon doesn't get distracted by the drone. I am the same, I absolutely adore birds of prey. We have bald eagles that nest overlooking our farm every year and it is one of my joys in life hearing them screaming at each other in the wee hours of the morning or seeing them flying overhead as I am in the gardens.
Nah, drones are not for me, as the ultimate would be to get his strike on camera, and you are right. as position is very important.
Wow! I have seen pictures of the bald eagles, and videos of them hunting and they are fascinating. Sadly, we don't have them here in South Africa. I would love to stand there on your farm with my zoom, to get the eagles when they fly over.
Ever heard of the famous African Fish Eagle?
Here's one that I got recently.

This is video of my experience saving a young bald eagle
My channel has a few other videos of it. One of the best feelings ever was having that bald eagle pressed against my chest and the feel of its talons clamping onto my hand. It eventually came and said goodbye before leaving.
A wonderful video and it must have been a great occasion. Glad that you also love nature and its residents.
