Especially sad because last year, Athena with the transmitter, fledged right to her death from the same place. Sad


I was just thinking of Athena yesterday and how really sad that this had to happen.  I'm so sorry, Sage.  Sad

UB kids got their jewelry today! Two more girls and a boy.

Bailey - female - yellow tape
Mackay - female - red tape
Winspear - male - blue tape







More pix on FBPP!

Local news media will report on Statler banding where two boys and two girls were banded today! Names won't be determined til later in the week.

North GI Bridge banding tomorrow morning.

Apparently the Niagara Falls eyasses will not be banded this year because the old power plant roof is deemed unsafe!  Sad

Dixie was great! She and Yankee flew circles around the tower as they could hear their babies screaming, but Dixie was not as crazy as BB used to get, trying to force herself over the board and ripping her feathers apart!   We didn't leave til everything was calmed down and the kids were hunkered down and comparing notes about their abduction by aliens!

When the cam finally came on later today, Dixie was in there giving the kids a fresh meal.

Thanks for posting sage. Those are a couple of names I already thought of too. Appropriate for the location.

As for Niagara, it will help CPF.  There are so many peregrine pairs in Ontario that they can't band them all. Many to be done this week. Timing is so hard when they overlap, and can't get everything coordinated with MNR and the facilities. They don't have a lot of watchers to cover all the territories either. That's the price of reintroduction success.

Love the names, Sage, and glad all went well.  I know it's Bailey for Bailey Ave., Mackay for Mackay Tower but what's Winspear for?

Windspear Avenue is the road that the tower and maintenance area is next to.

Thanks! I just looked it up and saw what it was although I had a feeling it was a street name-think I've heard it on the Buffalo news before.

Will that name be spelled MacKay or Mackay?  It says Mackay on the FB page.  Just wondering..

I don't know for sure how the name will be sent to Albany. DEC said Mackay, though the tower is MacKay.

Here is a pic of the Statler dad, Ojibwa, on the left, and the unbanded mama at the Statler today while the kids were inside getting banded. More pix on FBPP too.
