Has any falcon ever commanded this much attention to detail??!! Only the Queen!
bev.:
I think there is too much second guessing and that the important thing is that Mariah get the care she needs.
Often a young falcon will hang out at the beginning of the season around an adult falcon. Usually they just chase it off as they do not present any harm. I am just stating what I have been told over the years.
Last year in Edmonton a young male hung around the transmitter girl for about a week and then was gone.
so I think we all knew that some year this would happen and I am just glad that she is here and not run off where they do not know where she is and that someone was there to save her.
And that there are still 2 nesting falcons in the area that did not know how special Mariah was to us all and they will mate and probably produce young and will need the eyes of Rochester.
No I am not tough. I have had to learn this the hard way.

I hope Zephyr's ok too as he's not even a year old yet... it might be he just hung out there and then moved on..kind of like Tybropa did here with Juliet and Linn as he is kind of young yet to mate..although not unheard of from what people say. Let's hope he doesn't try to visit what he thinks is his mom again until he's a bit older.
As for the banded vs unbanded..a watcher named Maria's photo of her and Zephyr show her as being banded that is mentioned as a correction in a post below of that date in the comments . That being said, honestly until Zephyr was spotted - I had never seen anyone mention that site, was it even an established nest site? perhaps - and this is just my musings - it was more like a safe area outside Mariah's where you wouldn't get your block knocked off by the Queen. There were so many reports of migrating falcons passing through during the past month and a half, I wonder if it wasn't just a stopover and there were many falcons passing through on any given day..but I leave that to someone with more knowledge of the area, I have zero and admit to it :D
