Really sad and you have to wonder why there has been no efforts made to give them a nest tray or covered box.

Family reunion 

 

Awesome!!  Go G go!! 

Return of the MAK 

As per Linda:
.
One female, 800gms, 20 days of age, named Sandy.

Reenie just posted that Blue Girl passed away today after a window collision..how sad.  This is the baby she held during banding.  Fly free, Blue Girl.   

Oh no 

Go figure, the cam view changed and we were all wondering why...seems Pigott wants privacy 

Pigott landed on the camera and turned it around. It cannot be fixed until August

The cam is up, babies on board!!! 

Just posted to their FB page:

The DEC HAS JUST FINISHED THE BANDING OF THE SYRACUSE EYASES! 2 females and 1 Male! I took photos of George and Piggot going nuts... Will post soon. Almost had the opportunity to photograph the banding, but they were done by he time one of the supers came down to see me. Camera is being repaired....

Looks like it might be banding day here, someone just posted at BCAW that an umbrella has appeared on cam.  Hope they can fix the main cam too!

Major storm cells moving through the area the past few hours, strong winds, thunder, lightening and mucho rain.  Supposed to drop the temps 20 degrees by the time the system moves through.

Right, so NOT Dorothy's age that caused the issues but parasites!  Ha!     Was very surprised and happy to see him home with mom, hopefully the treatment they gave him for parasites works and he continues to do better. 

Update from Kate:

His sex is undetermined because he’s been slow in development – feathers and strength are at age 14 days – but he had no deformities and has a good change of catching up.

He did have feather parasites so he was treated with medication to remove them. So that problem virtually gone.

The chick has been given a check-up, and it's a BOY! Watch wqed.org/birdblog for more later today.

I just saw that, can't wait for the report.  I was worried when I heard the banding guy say I don't like the look of his talons.
