Falcon Watchers -
A couple Westar folks were able to get on the Westar rooftop yesterday and check on the falcons. Late last week we had a slight scare and it was believed that something happened to Doorly. We confirmed that Hope and Doorly as well as the two young are doing just fine. Wes and Star continue to learn how to fly in an area that is very suitable to their needs. Mom and Dad continue to look after them.
The front falcon cam can only view the falcons at certain times and is maintained by our security folks so it's not able to catch them very often. We did get some additional pictures yesterday and they have been added to the existing slide show.

Note from the Westar folks yesterday afternoon ...
Falcon Lovers -
Our falcon banding went smoothly this morning. We believe the first born bird to be female and the second born bird to be male (brother and sister). At this age it's difficult to tell the sex for sure, but we look at the size of the feet relative to the size of the bird and the beak width (female is wider).
We apologize for the smudge on the side-cam. During the banding, we attempted to quickly clean the lens, but it appears we were unsuccessful. It's important that we don't disturb the birds anymore than necessary, so it looks like we'll be stuck with the smudge until the young falcons fledge.
Pictures from today's banding can be found under the web cam information on this page:
