All done

Banding Day was a success! All five chicks were banded without problems. And this year I didn’t get clipped in the head by a falcon. I do have some movies though. So I’d say a good time was had by all. Well not the eyases (that’s the official name of a young falcon), but not to worry, they recover quickly from all the excitement.

Check out these films of the day’s activities:

• Mariah buzzing me when we took the eyases out
• The eyases who have already been banded
• My friend Kenn banding an eyas (named Tlotli)
• Another eyas in the buckets
• Putting the eyas back
• Mariah sitting on the camera
• The fab 5 back in the nest

all of these are in quicktime, each one’s about 1.5mb.

back and birding

Hey all. I’m finally back and recharged. Today’s Banding Day here at Kodak. We’re going to be banding the Peregrine Falcons that nest on the tower. You can watch the play by plan starting around 9.30am at birdcam.kodak.com.

I’ll be back later with pictures (if they don’t eat my head!).
