He is and he looks more like his grandfather Trey with that white breast, most of Princess' kids have more speckles that come up higher. I admit to liking the white breasts more than the speckles. Looking at the birds mentioned in the article RCF found, I'm going to have to see if I can track down some photos of the other three if they too have whiter breasts. (thanks RCF)

--- Quote from: Alison on December 19, 2014, 12:43 ---Lewis (10/R) has travelled a long way from Lincoln, Nebraska to The Woodlands, Texas -- about 849 miles. I wonder if he is spending the winter there.

If he is like most of his cousins, he will continue south into Mexico either following the coastline or by hopping across the Gulf then start to work his way back north to Texas again in mid to late January.

Lewis is a handsome tiercel. I think he looks like his Dad, with his solid dark hood:

A Nebraska Peregrine Falcon appears in Texas
This individual Peregrine Falcon hatched in 2012 at the Nebraska Capitol building. We banded the bird, along with his brother.
