    Don, thanks for the photos and information. I've emailed Nik Kalejs of the MDNR who bands the peregrines at the Cobb Plant to see if he can I.D. your bird.

    Thank you for the info Mark. Think he may be going the wrong way if he's migrating...

    I'm not sure if the smokestack birds migrate. They may just disperse in any direction. Anyone with knowledge of this, please comment!
