No they are more than a week younger than we band our chicks - they hatched out on the 25/26 May which makes them 18 days old. We don't band until minimum 21 days, usually a couple more "to grow on". Elk River however has a very experienced peregrine person working with them, so I have no doubt that they have it all in hand.
Pchemist:
Ooooh, I can see some flight feathers on the wings when they stretch! cool. 8)

Pchemist:
It is soooo funny seeing that chick yawn while waiting for mom and dad! :)
Earlybird:
I'm really glad I got to see that! I had the window minimized, but all of the sudden heard human voices coming from the speakers. Confused me for a second, but then I realized what was going on.
