I'm happy to report about the Seneca Towers female-thru the team work of my good friends Donna Cook and Tracy Simpson from the Canadian Peregrine Foundation we have information from the man who banded this 1 year old Peregrine. Below is a copy of the emails sent by all 3. And congrats to Lou Capuano who got the ID on this falcon with his long lens camera this past weekend.
Thank you one and all!!
