Guess we're going to have to wait another day...

Wednesday November 4, 2009
Due to a forecast of high winds, the banding has been rescheduled until tomorrow (Thursday November 5, 2009) at 10am Australian EDST.  Hopefully the weather will be kind as this will be our last opportunity to band our three chicks.  Any longer and there will be an increased risk that the chicks may attempt flight when the researchers approach the nest box.

Now, now...better safe than sorry...

I was watching at work...there is some serious stuff flying around in this one...


But I could have sworn by the looks on their faces that there were humans on the way...

Now, now...better safe than sorry...

I know I know. Just a little cry OK? Safety is important.

There will be no banding at all,you can read it on the alcoa site.There are troubles with the facilitys(traffic accident)The chicks could be banded over a week,but they can fly then and it would be to dangerous.

Since the travel tower is not available for another week and the banding is cancelled, they've posted to their Peregrine webcam enthusiasts...

"This leaves it up to us, webcam followers, to determine the sex of our three chicks and name them accordingly.  If both male and female chicks are present in the nest box, the size difference, with the female chicks being noticeably larger, will be the key.  Take a close look and let us know what you think."  http://www.alcoa.com/australia/en/info_page/falcon_webcam.asp

Ummm...I think it was probably a good thing the travel tower was out of action...one of them was just up on the edge!  



I'm thinking a boy and 2 girls
