Redhawk Caldera Falco peregrinus

She stood her ground, flinging out her shoulder to take the brunt of his blow. His teeth clipped the flesh, though he mostly just got a mouthful of thick, fluffy fur. Spitting and growling, he pushed back even as she did the same, widening a space perhaps six feet across between them. Yet still she did not flee, barking another question at him.

"Get the fuck off my lawn," Peregrine spoke over her, leaping at her again. He snapped his fangs at her. Technically, she was far enough away from the caldera that she scarcely posed a threat, yet the Alpha was still defensive this close to the edges of his territory. His ears flattened and he leered, giving her one last chance before he went for the kill.
