I won't comment on bureaucracy that is out of any of our control...other than to say my experience has always been you push,they dig in their heels even further.

But the youngest is just 22 days today...late tonight if you want to be technical about it. It's a range to account for multiples, not something written in stone.

Yesterday's outing was a stumble. I didn't see today's live, but he was back in with no trouble. They band eyases not in a box all the time.

I guess I'm just trying to say it's not time to panic by any means. Communication would be nice, but see item #1.

Absolutely, Ei.  I just wish I had a bit of faith that the people who do have control of this situation actually know that it's banding time.

While we all care so much for these creatures I don't think you can keep pushing the issue.  We have to remember what happened when some pushed the issue of the deceased PEFA on the top of one of Rochester's buildings. We are so lucky to be given the exposure that we have to this nest and consequently want more but realistically have to be thankful for the wonderful setup, our dedicated watchers, talented keepers of the records and cameras, lurkers and those at DEC and have patience for what may or may not come, don't you agree?

Absolutely, and that incident is precisely why I am not pushing the issue. 

I am still patiently waiting to hear if Unity's egg last year was fertile or not

Beauty has her head tucked in to sleep, and eyas wide awake in the middle of the night.

Breakfast!

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).

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.
