Endangered peregrine falcon rescued from plant
OAK CREEK — Eclipse, a 3-year-old peregrine falcon, was in trouble.
The bird had found its way into a water treatment building at the WE Energies Oak Creek Power Plant. Perched in the building's rafters, the bird had shown no inclination to fly down and out open doors.

Some UK and US videos are not licensed to be played in Canada - sucks actually - same thing happens with Nature on PBS.
Thanks for posting this despite the unavailability of the video the still photos are quite amazing!

They didn't seem different in appearance to the Anatum, though I'm not certain what different features distinguish the two.

No, they are anatum and migrators, they may not migrate as far as our birds do given their geographic location, but they do migrate to the same places. Individual birds may not migrate (think of all the birds in the NE USA who don't migrate these days) and individual populations, like the California anatums may not migrate far, but its in their DNA.
