The Peregrine Chick:
.... nope, took off with the remains of its meal like a gunshot ... not behaviour I would expect to see from Smiley who has been around all summer and certainly not from Joli who will never be considered a shrinking violet, even in peregrine terms.  I could see a purple anodized band on the bird's right leg but not so much a glimpse of the colour on the left leg (Joli is black/red, Smiley is black/green) but I did get a decent look and some screen captures of the bird's right side facial patterns, which could help, but only if the bird returns ...

The Peregrine Chick:
This is a very nervous bird ... hopefully I'll get a look at the band ...

The Peregrine Chick:
1112h - Whichever of the US birds is on the east side sigh (they have their back to me) they are either very hungry or in a mad hurry.  They are ripping apart a northern flicker with more, let's say, enthusiasm than I think I have ever seen a peregrine rip apart anything!   :o  And tucked up on the slash almost like they are afraid they will have to share.  Maybe the weather over the last couple of days and migration are making choices fewer and harder to catch.

The Peregrine Chick:
This morning it is raining/snowing and it looks particularly miserable on the east-side nestledge except for the pretty little bird sitting there doing a little preening in the damp.  Something about watching a peregrine with snow on its head ... I wonder if this will be the last day we see one or both of these two birds ...
