Yes, I did. I have received a reply from Dave Scott:
We used Black over Red color bands in 2009. I checked the Midwest
Raptor Center database (all years) as well as my records for 2007 & 2008
and could not find a B/G = S/34 ... given that the federal band is
silver, I suspect you have an eastern bird. Perhaps someone from The
Raptor Center in Minnesota can help you contact folks in the eastern US
regarding their banding records for falcons.
Sorry!
Dave Scott
So I will check elsewhere.

Alison:
TPC, I wonder if you might be able to help identify a peregrine seen recently in Indiana.
The bands are black/green, S/34 - on the right leg instead of the left. The left leg has a silver band; part of the number seems to be 52. The bird looks like a juvie from this year. He/she is not in the database.
My first guess would be that he/she may be from Ohio, which has used many of the S numbers, including some in the S20s. Or perhaps Wisconsin or Michigan, or even Iowa or Illinois, all of which have used a few S numbers.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Here are photos of the bird:
And I found this photo by chance on Flickr. I am sure this is the same bird. This info was with the photo:
7 Sept 2009 Vigo County
Statemens Towers
The Dark Band on right leg appears to have S on it on other photos. The Green Band below it on right leg appears to have a number 4 or ending in 4 on it. (Jim Sullivan said through a spotting scope it was 34) The Silver Band appears to have 52 on it in this photo.
