The new male at the Terminal Tower in Downtown Cleveland has very dirty
bands but they look to be the Black/Green bands B/92.
He could be "Ranger" hatched at Eastlake's CEI power plant in 2007.
I have to make sure and read his USFWS bands that are very clean, and
unworn.
You can see photos of the new male to this nest site at

Not a 100% ID but I would lean towards "Ranger"
This could be his first nesting attempt so anything goes.
He and his mate SW are defending his Public Square nest area and has with of
his nest mate downed a BWH and Chad and Chris veteran falcon watchers saw
the pair attacking a Red Tail as well.
Once the new web cams are in you can watch all the action at
