!!! June 2 Banding Day Photos

June 02, 2009 - Toronto - King Street

Frank Butson Reports:

On June 2,hosted by,Sandra Celli,of, Avison  Young Property Management,  4 Peregrine Falcon chicks were banded at the 18 King St E.  Mark Heaton from MNR and his able assistance had their hands full. Big sister Molly emerged quite Feisty. The room filled with Peregrine Falcon calls. One by one the Peregrine chicks were weighed,sexed,named and given their US Fish and Wildlife band and their Canadian Ministry of Natural Resources Band.  Please enjoy the photos of this years young:

1.Molly      853grams        23 days old   98/x

2.Alpin       603grams        22days old    32/y

3.Kendal    536grams         24days old    33/y

4.Spec         378grams         15days            34/y

Spec’s small size surprised us all. There had been 5 eggs and only 4 hatched. We suspect egg 4 didnt hatch and Spec was egg 5,accounting for his difference in age. Extra care was taken in the decision to band him.
