Pud Hunter, Sr. biologist from the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, comes through the hatch with the peregrine chick in the net.  Shaun Thompson, biologist from the Kempville district MNR Ottawa, takes delivery of the peregrine chick.

Pud was able to catch up the single peregrine chick while it was sleeping and without alerting the adults!  They didn't even know the chick was missing until it was returned to the nest nest ledge.   GREAT JOB!!
