I don't really think this is ahead of schedule, Moonstar. The chicks this year were born much earlier than the chicks of 2009 so they would naturally be banded earlier. I think that the chicks are typically banded at 3-4 weeks, but TPC could better speak to that.

I guess I worded it wrong. I did not mean ahead of schedule for this year but ahead of other years. Normally they are not banded this early in the year. Not anything to do with the age of the chicks this year or other years. Yes I do realize they get their bands at the 3 to 4 week age. I just meant that most likely because of the warmer weather this year things are earlier.

That year they were 9 days old on June 6th. That was a miserable year. For some reason I remember Princess incubating with a ring of snow around her. Wasn't that the same year?
