Re: [Maine-birds] Banded Peregrine

Is that a juvenile bird with vertical streaking on its breast?

At first I was hoping it was one of the peregrines that I helped to raise on Borestone Mountain in 1990 with a green band, then I realized, that was 30 years ago, the oldest known peregrine was 20 years old, and . . . dang I'm old!

Editing today's photos from Scarborough Marsh-Eastern Trail pannes, I notice that the Peregrine that we saw repeatedly (but unsuccessfully) hunting shorebirds is in fact banded with a dark-green band on the lower left leg.

Does anyone know who might be banding Peregrines and if a report like this would be useful.  Needless to say, any numbers on the band aren't legible in my photos.
