How would you change your birds mind set at this moment
Hi again David,

I wouldn't be concerned with a peregrine mantling in this circumstance since it isn't mantling away from me. When I say hawks shouldn't mantle, I'm specifically referring to the behavior of mantling occurring due to the presence of the falconer.
