From the great shots Vince and Luv2Bird got I was able to ID the Peregrine. It is the resident female named Cirrus. She was hatched in 2006 at AT &T in Dayton Ohio. Ive let the Ohio DNR Peregrine folks know. Its great to know the pair is around,as there has been alot of work on the bridge and that could drive them off.
Luv2Bird and Vince have allowed me to make a posting to the Canadian Peregrine Foundation website about their sighting and using their great photos! Thanks again!!

Thanks for all the comments and to Frank for providing the interesting information. The toy is working nicely Denis but I'm still getting used to both camera and lens.

The expression on her face and in her eyes is really something else!   8)

I love #4, what a character! almost looks like he's hamming it up for your camera.

Beautiful shots.

Thanks again for your comments. We were lucky Sue spotted her. She was pretty awesome and much more interested in her lunch than us taking pics. Notice the spot of blood on top of her head in #4.

My wife Sue had sent some pictures to Big Frank. One shot showed the ID band with the numbers visible and Frank was able to identify it. Log on to http://www.peregrine-foundation.ca/ and click on the Latest Views tab for January 18th.
