Very possible!  Whoever didn't look to sure of the other flyway visitors.

6 am  August 7
I think thats Chance on top of the cam in the misty dawn.
Chancy girl is really exploring.  Once she took off, there was no stopping her!  She is such a BIG girl.

Shep, Definitely a bird on top of the camera just at color-cam this morning. Then closeup of one on the ledge, but I did not see a leg band. Stay with the rewind for one perching on a dead limb, and listen to the brief hailstorm!

Sure was a privilege to watch the peregrines raise a chick to fledging.  Thanks to the cam ops for their wonderful views.

Aug 7 rainy day - not much cam

Peregrine perched on a lower ledge, then on a dead branch at mid-day. Hoped it was Chance, but alas, no leg band.  Zooey perhaps?
Great closeup views of wildflowers, spider & web, sumac turning fall colors (no pics).

STL, not positive, but the first pic looks like Newman.

Pretty sure it was Newman

Thanks for the probable ID, Izzy & Lisa. It's the same bird in my middle pic, so Newman. Very blue-looking feathers in that light.

Cam ops here find wonderful closeups of wildflowers, and today, some insects. Here is one Azure Bluet Dragonfly.

Closeups of peregrine, too!  Newman?

I am behind on posts & photos & gifs... I recorded the video and a few gifs of her that day... I am 99.99999% sure it was her    So happy to see her or her twin.

Little one Chance "possibly" seen on Mississippi flyway cam... I believe in my heart it was her... this little one in the GIF has bracelets too!  I did record a video of it as well...  Great work by the cam ops!!! 



This was taken the same day Chance was spotted at Flyway, she had not been spotted for 2 days prior


Chance & Mom Zooey 49 days ago June 22nd


You've come a long way little girl!  I get a little sad when they leave, but happy at the same time.  So proud of all of our fledgings!💜
