Also I asked my friend for help IDing this falcon and just sent her the picture with no suggestion on what it might be. She also concluded it was Clementine. And I found a video of 2008 banding day at Macomb county site. Somebody was holding the band *S/*X showing to the camera. You know, much easier to read that way!

Have you seen the other falcons lately, the falcon from Indy and the falcon from Michigan? Clementine and Tangerine must be relatively new to the area | ||

With the help of Chris and Chad and looking at my recent photo of Female I am convinced that she is Clementine from 2008 nest Mt.Clemens Macomb county Michigan state. Her tail feathers didn't change much keeping the same weird pattern for the months. So this was she for all time we watching these falcons except one week when for some reason she was replaced by Adira from Indy. And since male is unbanded I think it would be fair to give him some matching name, why not Tangerine? What do you think? | ||

OK, thank you for the great information; I understand now, I was thinking that Tangerine was a new banded male - I love the name Tangerine - great choice for a name. I see why you think it is the original female with her distinctive feathers. I would love to know more about Clementine; is she old enough yet to be fertile enough to lay eggs? I can't wait to have Donna come to visit campus to check out this pair especially since they are still here. I can't wait to meet her too! Have a great day today - nice and warm! | ||

Than he left to the tower with the female joining him over there. And also I found the yellow-throated warbler next to the Olentangy river (stadium area).    [ Edited Wed Apr 22 2009, 10:50 ] | ||
