Great shots RCF ;D

Nice to hear there is a pair hanging around here. Maybe they will come back next year and get serious about nesting.

RCF:
I was out here for about an hour today and was very lucky to catch the female in the cubby hole on the north side of the building. This is about as close as I can get, so I was happy she was there. She had prey up there and was eating, then preened for a while. She was very accommodating about showing me her legs while she was there. Eventually the male showed up and I heard her talking to him. He buzzed in front of her a few times and then she flew after him. I watched them soar the thermals until I couldn't see them anymore.

Anyway this female has no bands, so I guess we will never know where she comes from. :)

Kinderchick:
Yes, it will be interesting to see if one or both of these PF's can be identified. Might be some of "ours," come back to nest. :-\

The Peregrine Chick:
Just so folks understand, juvenile brown feathers don't mean too young to breed - our larger birds - Alice, Joli and Jules all were quite brown when they started nesting - some birds retain more brown longer, some birds don't - mostly females though (bigger than males) and it seems (anecdotally) that the larger females take longer if ever ... Jules had brown on her the whole time she was here.  Madame on the other hand never did have brown and she arrived here at one - don't think Princess did either and she was 2 years old when she arrived - Jules was older when she started nesting.

I know RCF is pretty sure she has seen bands on at least one of the birds (sorry RCF, can't remember if you said both  :-\) - going to be fun to find out who they might be though  ;D  Love a puzzle no matter where or when it arrives
