Utica Falconcam 2017

[patsy6]

I can't believe there haven't yet been any postings for 2017 for the Utica cam.  At least I couldn't find a new topic for it.

Anyway, here goes.  Astrid and Ares have four babies this year.  It looks like as in past years, they won't be banded unless they get grounded and sustain an injury that requires rehab.  However, they have been named.  Here's a post from today from Facebook:

Our chicks have names!
A big thank you goes out to everyone who participated. After careful consideration of over 400(!) name submissions, the committee chose the following names: Chick #1 is Spirit, first submitted by Mary Lynn Linstruth. Chick #2 is Maximus, submitted by Betty Blanchard. Chick #3 is Zander, submitted by Carol Farrell. And, finally, Chick #4 is Luna, first submitted by Theresa White.
Some names were submitted more than once, but, as always, the winner if the name is chosen is the first person to submit the name.
Winners will be awarded their t-shirts on Saturday, June 17th during fledge watch. We will contact winners individually with additional information.

I've followed them on FB and have been waiting for banding info...wonder why they don't band them there?
