2016 Juvie sightings

Joyce posted this over on Facebook...


This pic was taken at Montezuma in September by James Labiak (from Buffalo area). Does anyone have any idea where this juvie peregrine might be from? It looks like it had a black over green ID band, but only BA on the green portion is visible. Is that a purple USFW band or purple tape?

Addendum: Color on left leg is RED as commented below. Consensus so far - this is 2016 Matilda ("Tilly")

I do hope this is Matilda! I would love to see the photo, but all that is visible is a "Not Available" sign.

The photo is now visible, thank you! What a beautiful juvie.

Chances are this is Matilda. Her bands were switched. Black/Green on the right leg and the silver USFW band covered in red tape on the left. It's always wonderful to see our young ones doing well after they leave Rochester.

I had tried using a link directly from Facebook but it didn't work. I had to copy it to Flickr. I guess you opened it before I started modifying it.

Hi- I'm not sure if this is Leo ,I can make out the black 22 but not so sure on the green lettering. It looks like BE or BA. If so, he is in Hampton, NH having a ball! Taken today 12/13/16 at approx. 2:30 pm in Hampton State Park, Hampton, NH. Please let me know

Posted on our fb page!! Whoo hoo!! Sure looks like him

Maybe we'll take a trip to the coast this weekend !!  Be cool if we could see him.  Weather not looking good though!

Go for it Lynne! 

[Donna]

Great Lynne, we got peeps all over!! Hope you make it and find him!! 
I just love how people find our babies....sick or well, they are there!

Wow! What a handsome juvie! I think this does look like Leo. For what it's worth, after pushing the image as far as I can in Photoshop, I am fairly sure that the bottom part of the band is BA.

If this is indeed Leo, he has travelled quite a distance, especially for a male juvie. The distance from Rochester to Hampton Beach State Park is at least 430.9 miles.
