Banding Day Success!
All was quite this morning when the Boys from Sky reach window washing took CPF volunteer Kathy Smith up on the swing stage to the nest to collect the chicks. Although we expected the tongue lashing from the female we did not expect her to be quite so patient. She sat on the swing stage or in the nest for most of the extraction, during the banding and while Kathy put the chicks back. Kathy was able to get a photo of her band number 98 over E black over red band so again yes it is Midnight from the downtown Brampton nest site.
It turned out that there were 3 females this year all between 830 grams and 850 grams and very healthy. they were named Adriana, Ieva and Hawkeye (named after one of the Avengers) by a young volunteer and member of CPF Max thanks Max for the great name and your help to band the babies.
Photos of banding to come soon stay tuned.
