TPC, what is the earliest day for banding? I'm guessing you need to get to full growth of the leg, so the bands won't become tight?
The Peregrine Chick:
Since we don't have a webcam on this pair, hope you don't mind if I move you back where we can find it Allikat :)
Soon enough we will have a new board for July ;)

Thank you Tracy!!! :-*
Day Eight for the West Winnipeg Pair! WOO HOO! ;D
The Peregrine Chick:
I tend to count from the oldest chick except when it comes to banding dates when I use the age of the youngest chick because we really need to make sure the chicks are old enough to be banded.
So, the West Winnipeg chicks are on Day Eight - oldest two chicks are eight days, third is seven days old.
They can thermoregulate at 10+ days so the rain will not be as big a danger. At 10 days they can move on their own, tend to move into the shade/under cover when the weather changes - and the West Winnipeg site has a roof they can get under to avoid both rain, sun and winds from most directions.
Pam:
Thanks for the updates, Tracy!
