Wow! This must be quite the feat, trapping a peregrine falcon! :o Is this done very often, TPC? :-\ As you have said, it will be interesting to see if the same male returns next year.

Often is relative I guess - compared with the number of peregrines out there, no. Are there folks who do it relatively often, yes, but usually that is because it isn't just peregrines they are trapping - they will work with other species as well.

The Peregrine Chick:
Terminator's mate is unbanded and the folks in GF are thinking they may try to trap him to put bands on. Their bander is an exceptionally experienced raptor researcher so it will be interesting to see how they do. And it will be nice to be able to know if the male comes back next year. This will be Terminator's 3rd mate in Grand Forks.
Three chicks this year who were all banded this morning - 2 males and 1 female. They did name them but I want to make sure I have the names spelled correct before I post them here.
The Peregrine Chick:
Was just returning a call from the folks down in Grand Forks who were looking for a bit of information on Smiley and Alice and they mentioned they were planning to band Terminator's 3 chicks today. So, it being lunchtime I called them back and what do I hear in the background? Chicks caterwauling :o so I think I caught the GF folks while they were a) banding or b) retrieving chicks to band. Timing is everything obviously ::)!! So I said I would call them back and I'll pass along what I find out about who is T2's mate this year and how the banding went.
