When viewing the National Aviary Peregrine FalconCam, have you thought to yourself, “I wonder if that’s Carla or Ecco?”

Because females are larger than males, Peregrine Falcons (like other raptors) are considered sexually dimorphic, meaning physical differences exist between the two sexes. However, judging the size comparisons of Carla and Ecco is rather tricky when only one is on camera.

The easiest way to determine who is who is by looking at their ankles! While Ecco doesn’t have any bands, Carla does! She was banded (Black/Blue S/07) in 2020 at One Summit Square in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

…with that in mind, can you tell which bird is seen in this picture? 😉👇

LOOKING FORWARD TO THE WILDLIFE RANGER CHALLENGE

The is the world’s largest celebration of solidarity, support, and fundraising for wildlife rangers. This year more than 100 teams of rangers spanning the African continent are taking part in a series of challenges, culminating in a grueling 21km race, in uniform while carrying 22kg backpacks.

This global campaign is organized by our longtime partners at the Tusk Trust. It brings together competitors, rangers, family members, wildlife supporters, and social media followers around three central goals:

- Raise vital funds for frontline conservation efforts
- Drive awareness of the importance of the role rangers play in conservation
- Communicate the challenges that these brave men and women must face to protect Africa’s wildlife.

Since its inception five years ago, the WRC has raised $18 million for hundreds of African conservation organizations, including Big Life.

This year, the Scheinberg Relief Fund has generously committed $1 million in matched funds in support of rangers most in need.
