Fascinating. Another (ignorant!) question: Can you differentiate between birds in the air? If there were 4 up there, could you easily see which one is Roach?
Ive had wild peregrines come in to check out my bird. I can tell which is mine if 1 bird is a female and the other a male simply because the males are so much smaller than females. I can also tell (sometimes, if they are close enough for good visual) if 1 bird is immature and the other a mature bird as plumage is very different after the first molt. But, if both birds are the same sex and in the same plummage, the only way I can tell is that one comes down to the lure and the other doesnt. If another falcon comes in to 'play', the flight is over - too much risk the 'play' wont be so nice.
Geez, I thought of another question again! What game do you target?
Huns, mostly. Sharptail when I can find them or I travel east. Sage grouse, rarely, especially with these tiercels as thats a big ask (they can do it). Ducks, occasionaly - the season of ducks on flyable water for a falcon is short in my area.
