Title: Re: Banding Day 2022 Post by: Dumpsterkitty on 21-Jun-22, 10:12:14 AM Our 1st eyas is a male banded 33/BA black/green
Title: Re: Banding Day 2022 Post by: Dumpsterkitty on 21-Jun-22, 10:12:57 AM He is named Blaze, in honor of Firefighters Neal Ludwig and John Mauer of the Rochester Fire Department, Truck 10.
Title: Re: Banding Day 2022 Post by: Dumpsterkitty on 21-Jun-22, 10:13:31 AM This name was chosen by the Rfalconcam team to thank them for giving us closure on what happened to Dot.ca
Title: Re: Banding Day 2022 Post by: Dumpsterkitty on 21-Jun-22, 10:23:40 AM Our second eyas is a female named Zara
Title: Re: Banding Day 2022 Post by: Dumpsterkitty on 21-Jun-22, 10:24:11 AM She is named by Carol Lukaszewski, aka Lukka of Tonawanda, NY
Title: Re: Banding Day 2022 Post by: Dumpsterkitty on 21-Jun-22, 10:24:53 AM Zara, because Rochester is known as the Flower City.
Zara has Arabic roots and is a variation of Zahrah, which means blooming flower and radiance. Title: Re: Banding Day 2022 Post by: Dumpsterkitty on 21-Jun-22, 10:27:03 AM Zara is banded 34/BW black/green
Title: Re: Banding Day 2022 Post by: Shaky on 21-Jun-22, 10:33:25 AM Zara has red tape placed on the band on her other leg. Blaze has no tape.
Title: Re: Banding Day 2022 Post by: Dumpsterkitty on 21-Jun-22, 10:38:31 AM Our 3rd eyas is another female banded 35/BW black/green
Title: Re: Banding Day 2022 Post by: Dumpsterkitty on 21-Jun-22, 10:38:55 AM She is named by Mrs. Rebecca Swanton's 5th/6th Grade Class at Derech Hatorah School in Greece, NY
Title: Re: Banding Day 2022 Post by: Dumpsterkitty on 21-Jun-22, 10:39:23 AM Her name is Kanfai Malachim (pronounced: Con-fe mal-a-keem), the Hebrew phrase for Angel's Wings.
Title: Re: Banding Day 2022 Post by: Dumpsterkitty on 21-Jun-22, 10:39:39 AM The boys chose the name because in the Hebrew religion they believe Angels are messengers of God in physical form.
Title: Re: Banding Day 2022 Post by: Dumpsterkitty on 21-Jun-22, 10:40:06 AM By seeing nature physically we can relate to God better. The birds are the messengers.
Title: Re: Banding Day 2022 Post by: Dumpsterkitty on 21-Jun-22, 10:41:39 AM She has blue tape on her silver band
Title: Re: Banding Day 2022 Post by: Dumpsterkitty on 21-Jun-22, 10:43:42 AM And just like that they are back in the nest box!
