We (Ed Saehler and I) netted a first year male Peregrine during raptor banding operations today near Coralville Lake. It was already banded and found to be from Edmonton, Alberta...the smallest in a clutch of three males. It showed signs of fatigue/hunger and was kept for observation at the Macbride Raptor Project. This is the 21st season of banding raptors at this station and I believe only the third Peregrine. Ironically, we had an observer from Patagonia with us in the blind. His first time with us and only there for 20-30 minutes. He'll be invited back!
