Not higher resolution, she was just closer to the camera and the band was spun around perfectly for me to grab a clear image of the number. (You know me and confirming band numbers by now ;)) Downside of "closer to the camera" is that one can't see her, just her feet and belly - not the first photo you want to post of the new girl in town! And yes, she does still have her USFWS band. When I spoke with her bander I mentioned she still had two bands and he confirmed they hadn't updated her record yet - a second sighting of her in 2018 showed her silver band then too.

Thanks, TPC! So this is definitely Fiona! She has travelled far. May I please borrow your photo so that the people where she came from can see her? If that is okay, what credit do you prefer for the photo?

You are welcome to use the photo Alison - we have a photo credit right on the image. If you need to crop, just attribute the image to PFRP or Manitoba Peregrine Falcon Recovery Project. If you need me to send you the image, let me know - this image is 448 x 336 but likely have a larger one I can send if you need.
Actually, let me have a look at some images I captured yesterday, I might have a better/clearer image for you ...

This bird appears to have a silver band on the right leg. From last year:
Fiona, C/84, was photographed on 11/4/17 about eight miles east of Cameron, Louisiana. She was photographed again on 1/20/18 about twenty miles northeast of Cameron, Louisiana. On 1/20/18 she was no longer wearing her USFWS silver band.
Waiting hopefully for Princsss to return.

Yes, would love to see Princess again, it would be the end of an Era if she didn't return. :'(
