I was searching around to see if I could find a listing of leg band information, and came across an extensive, but not all-inclusive, list of pf bands. As it focuses on the pfs of the midwest, none of the Rochester, NY falcons are on it (yes to Rochester, MN, however), but I thought it might be helpful when trying to identify non-native birds for those who follow other websites. The list starts in 1989 and goes through 2008. A lot of other information is included, but you can look up a band by using the <Find> function on your web browser.
http://www.fieldtripearth.org/repository/7893/falcon_banding.txtDoes anyone know if there is a similar list available from anywhere else that would include our eastern continental birds?
Thanks!

Wow, great list. I was going through it and just getting halfway, I counted over 100 deaths of fledglings. 1 hit by Lightning...a few died in smokestacks...1 in a road sign...1 mummified in a nest..the majority are window strikes or hit by cars. Lead poisoning in 1.. In Buffalo Wi, there were 4 eyas's and both parents were killed in a fight, moved to hack. A few died from falling from the nest. Pretty sad the odds.
