Woodmen Four were banded this morning, as well as mom Charity. There are three females and one male, just like Rochester! Let the naming begin.

Thanks for posting the video, Kris! Mintaka was making noise outside as well. He and Charity seem to be very attentive parents.

From Fontenelle Forest Raptor Recovery, regarding the male Hunter:
"Hunter was thoroughly evaluated. Unfortunately he has permanent vision changes in his left eye. These changes will make it extremely difficult for his survival. He will not be releasable. We will work with USFWS permitted organizations to place him as an education or display bird.
He may not be able to go back to the wild, but he will be able to make a difference by helping to educate the public about the importance of birds of prey like himself."
I am glad they caught this so early in his attempts to fledge.

I think Hunter may be staying at Fontenelle Forest Raptor Recovery rather than being placed elsewhere. I came across this short note:
Hunter will remain in our care and will likely become an education bird.
I think he will be a wonderful education ambassador.

An update on Hunter's older sister, Charlotte, born in 2015.
She had been found injured after fledging last year, and taken to Fontenelle Forest Raptor Recovery. After spending time in rehab, an attempt was made to release her on the roof of the Woodmen building. Sadly, she was unable to take flight, and the attempt failed.
She has been deemed non-releasable, and is now a permanent resident at Fontenelle Forest Raptor Recovery's new Raptor Wildlife Refuge.
Rescued birds settling in at new $2 million digs at Fontenelle Forest
June 21 2016
Charlotte the falcon can’t see well.
Someone found her on the street one day, far below her home atop the Woodmen Tower. A neurological disorder makes it difficult for her to navigate and find food.
So Charlotte has joined several other birds of prey like her — rescues, unable to survive in the wild — at Fontenelle Forest’s new Raptor Woodland Refuge, which opens to the public July 16.
The $2 million expansion is the Bellevue forest’s biggest project in more than a decade, said Joe Vavak, spokesman for Fontenelle Forest.
The refuge has the capacity to house up to two dozen birds. Visitors will be able to tour the raptor refuge and see the birds living in “mews,” or treehouses. Several are housed high in the treetops and accessible to guests via a suspended walkway.

While it is not the life Charlotte should have had, at least she will be safe and well cared for.
The fact that both Hunter and Charlotte have vision problems may be coincidence, but since they are both offspring of Mintaka and Charity, I wonder if there could be a possible genetic factor.
