Well it doesn't happen often but we've seen other pefa's appear on cam that are missing a band so somehow they lost it.  

It may have gotten damaged during her battle with the previous female here last year when they came down in the gutter - maybe the force of that cracked it or it got caught on the flashing and it loosened the screw(s).

Edit to add:  In fact I remember she favored her foot for awhile after she won the site.

I think the USFWS band is a crimp band-not screwed on. The VID band is riveted on. She could have caught the crimp on something and broke it.

Thanks for the tip Annette!

The sun washed out the view of Beauty...shadows worked this time

Glad the sun came out to verify MAK's ID!

Is that a black red band or is the light fooling me    but it's upside down...gah!!    What are odds a reflection would look like red/black....

The color band would be on her other leg anyway. This cam has always been crazy for odd colors where you don't expect them. It does look like a band though.

There have been times I've clearly seen no band and the next frame it's there. Or it looks black & green and the next frame it's black & red or all black.

Just have to wait and see.

DC(?) on OCSR.

I was just about to post this one...definitely DC

Nice landing!

Not back yet-hopefully the last takeoff was successful!

He's been off & back-must be hunting.

Back to work...

Both were on Mercury for a few minutes.



Beauty on the base for a minute
