And you could be right RCF - looking back at the recording, the light was shining from the wrong angle and there is a bit of spotting on the environmental cover from the winter, but the bottom letter looks to be the bottom letter on both Alice's and Joli's bands - the top number I think is more in keeping with Joli's based on the shape (it was blurry and too lit up by the sun) - Alice's top number is rounded and I think I saw sharp edges which would be more in keeping with Joli's. Which begs the question, who was she with? Looked like a black band on the right leg - that would be Ivy or could be Cowboy or could be another Manitoba male ...
... tomorrow is another day to find out though!!

The right band colour but Alice is a big bird even for a female peregrine and this bird didn't seem big enough. But until I get a glimpse at that darn band, who knows ....
Bird came back and it is definitely a black over red band on its left leg, so a US bird. Bird sat on the edge of the nestbox like she owned it for 20 minutes while being buffeted by the wind (it's pretty strong - it's shaking the skycam some). Sun is starting to go down which usually means the birds won't be back again this evening, but I'll keep hoping ....

Maybe it's Alice. ??? ;)
The Peregrine Chick:
Yes, we do have another bird in the nestbox, possibly both a new male and a new female - one of which (the female I think) with a black over red band. So, could be Jolicoeur flirting with Ivy or perhaps it is Cowboy and Joli checking out the Radisson.
Ah, spring ... ::)
