I wish SOMEONE would tell us if they will be banded, and when.  Has anyone been in touch with the DEC and/or June Summers?  I think at least the watchers have a right to know this. 

I sent a PM to Carol a while ago expressing my concerns too.  The window to band is said to be between 22-27 days of age and Orion was banded at 23 days old. Many members are getting concerned that banding may not take place and there's also a concern that the eyasses are starting to explore outside the box. Can one of the Mods, Administrators, June Summers give members of the Forum an answer as to what's going on so we don't have to continue worrying about what might or might not happen?

I received word last night (just read it now) that the banding will take place in the next day or two. We don't know if it's this afternoon (Tuesday) or tomorrow morning (Wednesday).

Anxious to hear! Thanks.

I miss banding's like the good old MK days. We had a lot of fun and everyone got involved. The world just got too fast!

Right you are, Donna! I was excited for days prior to The Event.

"It's ok, Mom. I'll stand guard while you get some sleep..."

Rats! Scene changed while I was posting!

Have not seen them together for ages! Yaaaay!

(The pic I meant to attach...)

Is it any wonder that the youngsters gather together in the one place that seems to be free of... uhh... bones... feathers... icky stuff??

Probably missed this in my absence... did someone say a falcon was named for Big Frank? Where is this? When? Any background appreciated.

Slainte.

Yes, Etobicoke where Frank was an avid watcher, rescuer extraordinaire. There were 4 chicks hatched and 1 was named Big Frank. Scroll down and read all about it! 

Thanks, Donna. I will. So sorry about Big Frank, but happy that he has been thus honoured. Much deserved!

Add a couple of zeroes to both the days in jail and the fine and we might have something... Otherwise... the bad guys have little to lose. Same everywhere.
