Linder:
From the webcam site:
UofCfalconsWebcam of Peregrine Falcons nesting at the University of Calgary. We started with 4 eggs, and had two hatch around May 30-31. Bookmark http://www.ucalgary.ca/peregrine_falcon for next year in case we switch streaming services...The Chat Room has named the Mum Callie and the Dad Gary. The chicks, as yet indistinguishable from each other, have been named Allie and Berta.
If you move your mouse on the cam picture a crest of the UofC comes up and click on it, this is where the quote comes from. It will also show on the Chat site at the top of the cam picture.
Kinderchick:
How do you know the names, LinderLou? ??? I looked on the webpage and don't see anything? Did they say the names out loud or did they hold up signs?
Kinderchick:
Chicks are making lots of noise right now. :o They look shell-shocked, like our Radisson chicks looked after their banding. Can just see a parent's tail feathers on the nestledge.
Linder:
Watched the banding on cam. No word yet as to male or female. Names are Allie and Berta. Took one chick out and banded and then put back and next chick was taken out and banded. About 5 minutes per chick. Brave(?) man stayed sitting by the chick left out the whole time. Surprised parent didn't dive bomb him. Although they certainly were vocal and you see them flying by. Lot's of noise.
They might post a video Kinderchick.
Kinderchick:
Darn! Did I miss the banding? ??? Was gone for lunch and just returned. ::)
