!!! Holcims Peregrine Banding Day - 4 hatchlings!!
June 11, 2014 - Mississauga - Holcim
Marion Nash Reports:
It was another successful banding day at Holcim. This years banding was very special for the Family of
Ron Osborne, the former CEO who sadly passed away last year.
His children Charlotte and David got to name one the baby falcons and held it at the end of the banding for a photo shoot, we were honoured to be able to help make this happen for them.
We would like to thank all the folks at Holcim for the great care they take of the peregrine family and for hosting the banding event. We would also like to thank John Miller our volunteer rock climber for being there for the birds again this year to extract the little ones from the nest for banding without him this could not happen.
This year there were 4 chicks 3 males and a female. All the hatchlings were weighed and checked over and were very healthy and of good weight.
905 grams female 26 days old named Tessa
635 grams male 28 days old named Roaming Rony ( named after Ron Osborne)
640 grams male 27 days old named Lindsay
650 grams male 26 days old named Kurt
Stay tuned for the banding photos to follow…………
