I should mention she certainly knows when I am looking at her with binos, She looks right down at me from her perch on the mts tower and she's probably thinking nananananana, you can't see my right leg  :P
LOL, RCF! ;D We all know that you and Rose and birdlover are doing your best! You just pay her "no never mind", when she does that "nananananana" stuff! ;)

Okay, I just went and looked at 2008 banding photos and Holly's left band is black over green.   :D
 TPC, Do you think you could get somebody to move the building please , so I can see her right leg?  ;D ;D

It looked like two dark colors on her left leg, one was black but I thought I saw a hint of green but it looked dark. I will keep checking. I want to see her right leg but she is always facing wrong direction.  ::) The band looked black on top and thats different than Holly's.  Isn't Holly's band green over black?

Which leg? A dark band - was it a single colour or could you tell if there were two colours ?   Holly's band is black over green, Hurricane's is just black ...

I can say today our peregrines are not incubating eggs yet, but she could have been in egg laying mode.  :)  Nobody laying in nestbox today, he was perched on edge of nest and she was on MTS tower.  I did see her left leg today and I can definitely say she has a dark band on it.

It will be so exciting if this pair is in fact Zeus and Holly! 
Don't ya'll wish it was easier to get an ID?    ::)

I think my chances of seeing our lady peregrine's band have got slimmer, because she's been laying in the nestbox. I can just see her head and back from the parkade. Maybe she is incubating, I really hope so. 8) ;D
Incubating? Wouldn't that be nice! :D Would be nice to have ID's, though. However, I know that you are all doing your best over there! ;)
Rose and I are pretty sure the male is Zeus and we think the female might be Holly, since they both seem to be very familiar with the area and I know we can't be sure until they are positively ID'd. I don't know if there is anyone here in Brandon with proper equipment for that.  I see the falcons morning , noon and evening, I have never seen anyone else watching them, except for TPC being here a week ago. So, yes it would be nice to have ID's. :)

Just home from downtown,only  saw one falcon (female) sitting on MTS tower. If other one was in nest box and lying down it can't be seen at least from anywhere that we can go. :(

Bowing and echupping to each other! Sounds like a very good thing, RCF!  ;D Maybe eggs before too long? :-\ Hopefully some ID's before too long, as well :D!

I hope so too.  Only thing with ID's I will only be able to see band colors. We need somebody with more powerfull binoculars .  ;)

Today I was a block east of the nest box, you can see it from the front view.  Our girlie was perched on the edge of it and I was trying to see her bands, not having any luck.   As I was watching her, the male flew into the box and perched on the edge.  He bowed to her and then she bowed to him, they were also echupping to each other.  She flew over to the MTS mast and he stayed at the nestbox.  Of course she wasn't facing the direction that I could see.  ::) My view is either blocked by buildings or its too far away to see bands. I do notice she has been spending alot of time at the nestbox in the last couple of days.

 Tracy, Do the falcons do their mating rituals (bowing etc) for each egg that is laid?
