NE / Omaha - Mutual of Omaha - 2018
Alison:
One of Orozco and Sierra's chicks was blown from the nest by a gust of wind, and has been rescued. She is now at Fontenelle Forest Raptor Recovery. The good news is that she is apparently okay, and will be banded before being released.

The Peregrine Chick:
Nice to see another of Alley’s and 19K’s, and by extension Trey’s and Princess’ and further back Maud’s & Pop’s and MF1’s and Billy Ray’s great x3 grandson and great x 4 grandson respectively.
Alison:
Orozco and Sierra's chicks have been doing well. They are now out of the nest, and running the ledge. I was hoping that they would have been banded, but that did not happen. Since the Woodmen chicks were banded, it seems a little odd that the Mutual chicks were not.
This short video of the very cute chicks was posted by Brittany McClelland.

New photos of the Mutual of Omaha family were posted an hour ago:

And one of the whole family, also posted by Mark Peterson:
The chicks look great, and it is so good to see Orozco. He is a very handsome tiercel.
Sierra's bands are still not readable, but I can't see any trace of purple on her right leg, which makes me think that is a silver band, which would make her 36/H, born in 2016 at the Iatan nest in Kansas City, Missouri.
Here are the links to the original photos, TPC:

After enhancing the photo in Photoshop, I can confirm that the bird does indeed have a black/blue band. There is not enough resolution to be able to read it. I am kind of hoping this might be the bird from the Genoa nest. Wish we had a photo showing the right leg; if the bird has a silver band on the right leg, that would be the Missouri bird.
I have only seen one other photo, which shows the two very cute chicks. This was posted on May 28 by Brittany McClelland, who was the person who first saw Chayton outside a window of the Mutual building last year.
