RCF:
Great news you saw Princess bccs! Glad to hear she is still around. ;D
bccs:
At 2 pm today, Princess was on the nest ledge ( Trey's peak) watching the world go by.
There will not be a picture, as I did not have my camera. I guess I've committed another crime. ::)
Kinderchick:
Very interesting "read" about transmitters. Thanks for posting, TPC. :-* Also love your brief comment about "Fuffy". How very true! LOL! ;)
birdcamfan:
Thank you Tracy

--- Quote ---Unwaxed dental floss is used to fit the transmitter packpacks - an individualized fit for each bird. The floss usually degrades in about two years and then the transmitters drop off. The floss is used at the front of the backpack and on the back - when one of the location degrades the bird can shake the pack off quite easily - it's build to slide off once one of the floss points degrades.

So you mean dental floss is used as stitching on the teflon straps, that's very interesting. Thank you. It still seems a long time for the falcon to wear the non functional unit, maybe he will chew the straps off.
