Super cool! Have not seen them myself but they occasionally show up here in Chicago on migration. They're super beautiful. I know prey size differential is one theory for reverse sexual dimorphism in raptors, especially those like peregrines who focus on other birds almost exclusively. This with the beaks sort of sounds vaguely similar, enabling the different sexes to focus a bit more on different prey types. Fascinating!
