!!! Banding day at Don Mills and Eglinton
June 09, 2021 - Toronto - Don Mills and Eglinton - Amexon
Marion Nash Reports:
It was raining just before the banding and the chicks were a bit wet and they had just been fed so the crops were just bulging full so the weight of the chicks are a bit over the real weight.
It was very hot by the time John Miller started the climb over the edge and repel down to the nest and Mom and Dad were on high alert stooping and yelling at him. John was able to quickly catch up the chicks and inside the building they were quickly banded and returned before both john and mom and dad got too over heated darn this climate change makes things a challenge sometimes.
2 chicks this year a girl and a boy.
the Boy named Logan weighed in at whopping 720 grams his band number is C over 19 and has blue tape on his silver band. The girl Flynn was a 835 grams a good weight for a girl her band is 05 over AB with red tape on her silver band. they are about 23 and 25 days old today.
