Today, after being scooped from the nest by Mary Hennen from the Field Museum, the chicks were brought inside for banding, blood draws, measurement, and a viewing for the crowd of approximately 130 falcon fans. Josh Engel, from the Field Museum, assisted Mary. The falcons now have names, at least according to us humans. The names are Wrigley, in honor of Wrigley Field's 100th anniversary and Tory, in honor of Roger Tory Peterson, a naturalist who wrote many books about birds including the well-known Peterson Field Guides Title: Re: Evanston 2014 Post by: MAK on 04-Jun-14, 09:24:51 PM And the two falcon chicks are....female!
