Banding Day May 26th ADM Mills Port Colborne

May 27, 2023 - Port Colborne - ADM Mill

Marion Nash Reports:

Everything went well Anne Yagai and Mark banded the chicks and Lucie did the recording. Environment and Climate Change Canada was also there to take some blood samples as part of a 5 year study on environmental toxins. For some reason only 2 of the 5 eggs hatched one male and one female chick. All unhatched eggs recovered this year will also be part of the study.

Thanks goes our to ADM’S Eric Maxemuk and his staff for making this day possible.
