From their web news:
5/16/2011 :: Banding Event Tomorrow
The banding event for 2011 will take place tomorrow, May 17th at 1 PM. The nestling appears to be in good health though it will get a thorough physical examination at the event. More than 170 students, teachers and volunteers will view the event live at the Rachel Carson State Office Building, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The event will also be live webcast through streaming video. Web users can view the streaming video by visiting the DEP Home Page at www.depweb.state.pa.us and click on the falcon link.
If you visit this site make sure you click on the streaming video as the other screen only refreshes every 2 minutes. I won't be able to watch this as I have an appt but they usually have a video of the event posted later.

The nerve wracking nail biting has begun as the Little One aka LO has now begun wondering from the nest box to explore the ledge. Both parents try to entice it back to the box with food but at times it is determined to keep on wandering. LO is quite the size so could be female or could be that it has been overfed as it is the only chick. :) :)

I think NG's doing an awesome job with her little one-and-only. Haven't been able to check in much this week while it's light enough to see anything ::) I wonder if NG's still sitting on and protecting those three eggs as though somebirdie is still going to emerge from each? ???
Linder:
I agree with you Carly. She did have juvenile plumage when she showed up at this site. I'm happy that at least one chick hatched out of these eggs and she will learn from this. From her actions this far on incubation and feeding she is doing great and next year should be a breeze for her.

Although NG isn't banded, when she showed up last year she had some juvenile plumage so they figure she was only a little over a year old at that point. I'm glad she'll have one at least to practice with and hopefully next year they'll have better luck.
