Thank you for the update on these and the other chicks. It is wonderful to hear good news about all of them. They are amazing brave birds to fly so far alone, not all that long after leaving the nest. :o

Juliet (2012 West Winnipeg) has decided to return to her overwintering grounds in the central US states again this year.

Cooper:
Yes, the breast seems darker. In fact all the birds that I've been seeing there (and I would say that there have been at least two, one larger than the other) in the past couple of weeks seemed to have "dirtier" looking breasts than Beau and Jules. I said dirtier because rather than "rusty", they look greyer to me (like they've been playing in dust or not using Tide for their laundry) :)
Originally, when I assumed it was Beau and Jules I was seeing, I figured the less than bright white chests must be their non-breeding/winter season moult. It didn't occur to me that I might be seeing different birds because there really had not been any significant period that I hadn't seen them.

Does the bird seem darker on the chest than Beau & Jules Cooper? The black/red female is quite rusty on the breast ...
