!!! Some Older Pics of Ben and Len With Banding Info

September 13, 2012 - International, National and Local News

Frank Butson Reports:

Mark Nash asked me to post this information:

Thanks to Samantha and Dominic for the great photos of Ben and Len. The photos were taken shortly after the brothers had fledged. CPF was alerted to this by Dominic, and as per previous reports a CPF volunteer was dispatched to do a rescue. Shortly after the rescue both young Peregrines were banded at CPF Raptor Centre, where Ministry of Natural Resources staff was able to attend.

Ben was banded black over black R over 45(white letters and numbers) with yellow tape.

Len was banded black over black R over 38 (white letters and numbers) with blue tape.

Thanks also to Dominic for the great shot of the resident adult female.

Somehow these photos and this information didnt get posted in all of the madness that was 2 surprise nests at ICICI and Waterloo.
