Title: Re: Banding Day 2017 Post by: Dumpsterkitty on 22-May-17, 10:48:15 AM Rachel, for Rachel Carson, the author of Silent Spring. This was important to the public’s early understanding of the dangers of pesticides.
Title: Re: Banding Day 2017 Post by: Dumpsterkitty on 22-May-17, 10:48:22 AM As a boy, I learned about the accumulation of pesticides in peregrine falcons and how it threatened their very existence. Her work helped save our favorite raptors.
Title: Re: Banding Day 2017 Post by: Dumpsterkitty on 22-May-17, 10:49:32 AM Rachel's band is 88/BA with yellow tape on her silver band.

Title: Re: Banding Day 2017 Post by: Dumpsterkitty on 22-May-17, 10:58:49 AM Beauty and Dot.ca will likely patrol the air for a bit before stopping in to check on the eyases.

Actually, us locals who were raised near the lake have always pronounced it sha-LOT. The r is silent. However, I'm sure Donna pronounces it shar-lit as in Charlotte, South Carolina.

I too, was raised a mile from Charlotte and never heard it pronounced Shar-LOT until I was grown up.

May 22, 2017 Post by: Yarak on 22-May-17, 07:04:27 PM Quote It was Banding Day for our Rochester Falcons today.

I guess I hear the "r" even if it's not really there. But I did get the accent right and that's the important part ;) Title: Re: Banding Day 2017 as it happened Post by: Donna on 23-May-17, 07:16:04 AM Listen, you all say Cah-fee, I say Caw-fee. Sounded funny calling her Cha-lot, so I figured the R would be better for her. It would be so confusing like Dot.Ca.
We can call her Char for short....like Shar as I was telling Joyce yesterday! Or Lottie, as Joyce say's! Well, anyway, however you all say it, I'm honored to have been chosen to name one this year! Thank you guys!! I hope she goes on to live a great life and has a nest like Cadence, with a cam but with no battles! As soon as you're chosen to pick a name, you automatically feel like this chosen Falcon......is your kid! My heart is pounding already and she didn't even hop out on the poop deck yet!! I'm in for some Xanax I feel!! I just became a 1st time G'ma and now I have another to worry about! But that's me, on with the day!! :stupid: :wub: Title: Re: Banding Day 2017 as it happened Post by: Dumpsterkitty on 23-May-17, 07:29:57 AM Well, anyway, however you all say it, I'm honored to have been chosen to name one this year!
