Yes, they take blood from every chick. ;)

The Peregrine Chick:
Yes, the folks in Nebraska take the blood samples for genetic testing - part of a long term study.

They were taking blood. They do this at most the bandings in the US for genetic reasons I think. :-\ The parents disposed of the deceased chick, so who knows what happened to it. ???
