April 06, 2010 - International, National and Local News

Frank Butson Reports:

The good folks in Ohio,Chad and Chris,have once again let us know a Peregrine from Canada was seen and photographed by them. CPF-volunteer Kathy forwarded their information to CPF and Mark Nash of The Canadian Peregrine Foundation found the following information.

“I can confirm after checking our hardcopy banding records that the Black 15 over Black X banded Pefa that you make reference to was named “Marla”,banded on June -2- 2009 at an Etobicoke nest site, identified at banding as a female, weighing 889 grams at approx. 22 days old when banded.”

She has been seen in territorial scuffles with the resident female Peregrine who is now on eggs. More information on the sighting and photos can be seen at http://www.falconcam-cmnh.org/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?49383.80 

CPF is happy to receive reports and confirm identities of Peregrine Falcons. Thanks to Chad and Chris again for their inquiries and the great work they do in Ohio.
