Re: [cayugabirds-l] peregrines on Bradfield Hall
Males aren't just smaller, they're slimmer. You may notice a bit of difference in head shape, too, male more rounded, female more flat on top. These particular birds differ in their face pattern, but I think that's an individual variation, this male has a more completely black side of the face, while this female shows more white separation between the sideburn and the nape. There may also be some other plumage differences, but I'm not as certain - male with blacker barring below, female more murky. Male blacker on helmet? Not sure if their backs are the same hue. See if any of this agrees with your observations. --Dave Nutter On Feb 27, 2015, at 08:41 AM, Ray Zimmerman r...@cornell.edu wrote: Around 8:20am today, one was feeding in the same area you saw the male feeding two days ago.

Considering that there wouldn't even be Peregrine Falcons in eastern North America today if not for the work of Tom Cade and others at Cornell in the 1970s, I think a nest box should be put on Bradfield Hall in their honor. This pair of Peregrines clearly like this building. I'd love to see their work truly come to fruition. --Dave Nutter On Feb 25, 2015, at 09:54 AM, Marty Schlabach m...@cornell.edu wrote: About 9am this morning, there appeared to be 2 peregrine falcons on the east side of Bradfield Hall on the Cornell campus.

[cayugabirds-l] peregrines on Bradfield Hall
About 9am this morning, there appeared to be 2 peregrine falcons on the east side of Bradfield Hall on the Cornell campus.

One of the Peregrines just flew in front of my office window heading towards Bradfield. I think it came to check out on pigeons on Vet school!
