The ones we saw in Israel had a definite rufous crown and nape, and a very metallic blue/gray (more blue than gray) back and coverts. As Kathy noted, somewhat smaller than a No. Am. Peregrine. Hope he gets his bird back! Gail Mackiernan Colesville, MD On Tue, 7 May 2002, K Lambert wrote: > Hi folks, > > I just got a call from a friend.
