Banding Day 2019 as it happened

[Dumpsterkitty]

And our 4th eyas is a girl named Donna! She has yellow feet  and is banded B/G 31/BW with red tape!

[Dumpsterkitty]

She is named by the Rfalconcam Executive Committee.  Donna, in honor of our good friend Donna Cook, who was a valued member of our Rfalconcam community and had followed the Rochester Falcons for many years.

The eyases are heading back to the nestbox!

All tucked back in and the banding team is leaving the nest ledge!

Many thanks, once again, to the banding team from the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation! And, as always, thanks to our Rfalconcam team on the ground for hosting another successful Banding Day.

[Dumpsterkitty]

And, our very sincere thanks to all our watchers out on the Internet who help the recovery of the peregrine falcon continue to thrive! We wouldn't be here without you!

[Dumpsterkitty]

With that, this moderator is signing off! Enjoy watching these eyases grow!
