Who’s that in the clean nest box?
September 7, 2008: After the window washers left, the nest box and cam lenses were cleaned. The peregrines have made regular trips to the ledge and nest box. But who has entered the nest box today? Some Clues: Scout’s left leg band is black over green: P/72. Orville’s band is black over green: 12/P. They both have the letter “P” on their color band. The difference is that for Scout, the P is in the top, black field while for Orville it is in the lower, green field. Both have a purple USFWS band on the right leg. Orville’s legs, feet and cere (the part of the beak below the eyes where the nostrils are located) are more yellow than Scout’s.
