Who is this unbanded Peregrine at the MacKay nestbox? Where is BB?
Prey leg banded?
Checking out the new home for curtains?
Mate?
Things are getting a bit confusing in Buffalo. Yesterday we saw two unbanded Pefas on MacKay Tower! One was acting as sentry from the Winspear side of the tower, a station Smoky didn't ordinarily use. The other was feasting on a large bird which appeared to have a white band. After eating, this bird entered the nestbox, looked, up, down, all around as if it had never seen the box before and was thinking, "Wow! What a find! Air-conditioned, heated, decorated nicely, gravel, flight deck and perches!"

Looks like it might have been a banded pigeon, based on the red legs and feet. I do hope BB is okay. Let us know what develops.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think you're right. Those same two birds were still on MacKay yesterday too, and the guys at MacKay told us there was a big fight between 3 pefas at the tower the later the same day we took these pix.
