Good news BL!! 8) I sure hope they or somebody will be able to read her band soon, it would be cool if she were from Manitoba. :)
BirdLover:
Finally got an answer from Alberta Fish and Wildlife. I have copied and pasted below. Unfortunately we are still in the dark as to where this hen is from. Oh well, the two seem to be fine at the nest and the three chicks are thriving. :D
Great to hear from another peregrine fan!
Many of the peregrines in central Alberta are banded. They where a standard Unites States Fish and Wildlife Service band on one leg and a custom Acraft black and silver band on the other. The black band indicates that the bird is considered Falco peregrinus anatum and was born in the wild. The alpha numeric code can be read using a spotting scope and sometimes from camera images. Unfortunately, no one has read the band on the new female at Red Deer so far. The small clutch (3) suggests she may be breeding for her first time. We may get a chance to read her band in the coming weeks - most likely she is from Alberta but may be from as far away as Winnipeg.
BirdLover:
Yup :D
