The other week, NJMC Naturalist Mike Newhouse and Zach Batren got a good look at the banded Peregrine male nesting under the Route 3 bridge, and Zach got a photo where the band was readable.

Mike submitted the band number, and just got a certificate and info about the the bird from the USGS. It turns out the bird was banded as a nestling in New York State in 2012.

Certificate follows — always a good idea to report a band number.

(Thanks, Mike and Zach!)
