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!
