Baffled:
Some serious nest-cleaning going on now!
Reminds me of our good ol' Trey . . . fond memories :)
irenekl:
Oh yeah, that would be something! So many of us on the forum have always paid close attention to this nest so I think we kinda deserve it. ;) Either way, good luck to nesting at Elk River this year.
carly:
Thanks Irene, I musta missed that. And oh I do hope it's one of yours! Wouldn't that be something :-*

Carly, heres info on the black bands from Tracy a couple weeks ago:
--- Quote from: The Peregrine Chick on March 31, 2012, 13:30 ---Though I love the idea of it being a Canadian bird - and a male one at that (we have very few males that have been reported elsewhere in recent years) - it could also be an older Midwest bird from the time before they went multi-coloured (black/green and black/red) or it might even be a bird from further out east - some of whom may still use/definitely did use black bands at one time. All wild birds in the beginning of the project were black bands north/south of the border - they have just produced more and needed to expand their numbering and the multi-colours made it easier to ID.
I will love hearing what his band number is when its finally read!! He's got kinda high speckles on his breast, might even be one of Princess' - after all, she's originally from Minneapolis ...
