Just posted this over on the CMNH forum.  Good news about one of the young from the Cleveland Clinic being spotted at Montezuma this past weekend.  Thanks to Suzanne and Don for bringing it to my attention and to Joyce who helped me find and verify the ID.   

Oh, I just love being the bearer of good news! I have some really great news about one of the young falcons from this site from 2010.

Diana Whiting was at Montezuma Wildlife Refuge (New York) on Sunday, October 24th and she spotted a gorgeous juvenile Peregrine Falcon hunting the wetlands. Thankfully, she was able to get some really good shots of the bands. Suzanne and Don from Ithaca forwarded this information to me. Joyce M and I looked up the band #'s and found that they belonged to Rumba! WooHoo! Here are some pictures that Diana took.

I know how wonderful it is to hear about our young ones after they leave the area, so I knew that you'd all be thrilled.

Maybe Rumba is headed to Toronto to the King Street Nest site to see where his mom Ely was born and visit Grandma Erin!!! 

Great news, thank you so much for sharing!!
