Title: Need help with ID of a peregrine spotted in Canada
Post by: Donna on 01-Dec-16, 10:20:37 AM
69/BC Not 100% on numbers but this is what was read!


(http://i66.tinypic.com/am36zm.jpg) Photo taken by Monika Croydon saw her at Humber Bay Park on the lakeshore, Canada!

I looked but couldn't find these numbers!

What a beautiful little juvie! I find the bands hard to read in this pic, especially the numbers.

However, if the bands are indeed 69/BC, black over green, I did find that band number. The juvie would be from the Statler nest in Buffalo. There were two chicks this year, Erica and D'Arcy. At banding, one was given the bands 69/BC, and the other chick had the bands 70/BC.

Shortly after banding, D'Arcy became very ill, and she did not survive, so this juvie would be Erica. Erica was grounded at least once after fledging, and I have heard nothing of her since.

Here are a couple of pics from banding:

Good research!

Erica is the daughter if Ralphie, son of Rhea Mae & Tiago from 2014. She was rescued when she came to ground by Lukka, Michelle & Enrique!

So, granddaughter of Rhea Mae and Tiago, and great-granddaughter of Mariah and Kaver.  Erica, what a beautiful girl you are!
