Sometime yes, Tertiary consumers are sometime referred to as an apex predator and in most case this is true. iv found if you can a big cat (i.e. a mountain lion or such) and a predatory bird (i.e. a hawk) then the mountain lion is considered the apex predator while the hawk who would also eat the majority of stuff the mountain lion would eat, maybe not deer! is actually considered a tertiary consumer.
