Will see if I can find some time over the weekend to compare markings - love playing the ID game :)

Yesterday evening, there was a peregrine at the nest again, but this was a different bird. Once again, legs and bands were kept well hidden. The bird stayed until past 10:30 p.m. Topeka time.
I think that this is Nemaha; totally different markings.
I would like to know what you think about this.

"The birds were both banded by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Omaha, Neb."
They are not from Omaha, but are both offspring of Alley and 19/K in Lincoln. Possibly you might want to let them know?

I will be happy to let them know :)

Thank you, TPC! I noticed a couple of other things on the site when I went to check the band numbers.
In the "Banding history" table just above the reference to the parents, Boreas and Nemaha are both listed as male in the second column on the left. On the right, Nemaha is listed as "Current male parent" and Boreas is listed as "Current female parent".
As far as I know, Boreas is the male and Nemaha is the female.

That might be additional evidence that they are Boreas or Nemaha. Alley is the offspring of Trey and Princess and Trey's line has blacker caps than most.
