ETOBICOKE SUNLIFE BANDING
May 20, 2024 - Etobicoke - William Osler
Cathy Kerr Reports:
And our 2nd banding May 20th was at Etobicoke General /William Osler. What a great banding! Scott and his family met us and took us up to the nest site. It was behind a door, which had a peep hole… Very cool. We could hear them. Thankfully they were alone and John scooped them out to Mark. And got the door closed as Mom was incoming! She screamed on the other side and her babies were just as vocal… Just how we like them.. Fiesty! John got his first taste of what we do while he is sitting out on the nest ledge… And he liked it lol. All 4 were banded(we do this site on the young side as, when even a few days older they are off the nest tray and can get away and down the ledge where we cannot get them). 3 girls and a tiny boy. Adorable. Then it was quickly and safely back into the nest tray before Mom could get us!
Names are coming…
Female, 685g, 38/AB, red tape
Female, 660g, 39/AB, green on yellow tape
Female, 640g, 40/AB, white tape
Male, 440g, C/53 blue (I told you, tiny but mighty.. VERY vocal and Fiesty)
Thanks to Scott for all the work he puts in for this family!
Safe fledge little ones!
