Manitoba Peregrines > State Capitol, Lincoln, Nebraska
State Capitol - 2013 / 19K & Alley
RCF:
I thought I would put this here.
Hera’s new mate is from Lincoln, Nebraska! And there’s a little twist to his story…
The new male falcon, Mintaka, was originally banded at the State Capital as female – NE Game & Parks said that when there is uncertainty in gender, they err by using the female band size. (This is because females have larger feet.)
Join us in welcoming the new reigning king of downtown Omaha, Mintaka!
You have scroll down the page a little, when you see the falcon you're there!!

Aw! Always sad to hear news of the death of a peregrine falcon. :'(
RCF:
A Peregrine death in the family. :(
We received a call on Friday of a dead Peregrine Falcon found on the roof of the First National Bank tower in Omaha. The bird was banded with the auxiliary marker (the color band with the letter/number combination in a large font) 98/H. This particular band combination is familiar; 98/H was banded at the Nebraska State Capitol on 2 June 2009. The Peregrine was given the name “Niobrara” as a result that year’s name-the-chick contest.
