I know this is a topic from last year but I found some related news to share and I wanted to ensure Alison saw it in case she is not on Facebook: This falcon is the son of Freedom and Roosevelt!
Peregrine Falcons Southeast Michigan
Corey VanStratt, MDNR has solved the mystery of the identity of the resident male at University of Detroit Mercy. For many years, Kariann Reno Anderson, Christine Becher and Barb Baldinger were only able to read the 9 on the top of the bi-colored recovery band. The tower is so tall, that the rest of the band was either hidden by a ledge or just blurry. Corey said the band was faded and the lettering only showed on part of the band, but he did it! This 16 year old Peregrine Falcon is named Kekionga (black/green, 9/*R). He hatched in 2002 in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Thanks, Corey!

From the AEP website:
Moxie and Jamie hatched their first set of four chicks in 2013. The pair first got together in 2012, but the IDNR tells us that Moxie was too young to lay eggs that year. We're looking forward to another great year in 2014.

--- End quote ---
Freedom and Roosevelt don't migrate - they may be seen visiting their nest all year. Freedom likes to spend the night in her nest box during most of the year. She can often be seen coming home when it is getting dark, and settling in the back left hand corner of the nest box for the night.
Bonding at the nest box today: Freedom is on the right.
