While I was watching at Clinical science, Pete and Dave attended banding here yesterday. I wanted picutres of banding and roof area.
they banded early , as some workers had to go on roof, and Gord wanted to create as little stress as possible ,and he wanted to be there when workers were there, so they knew what they could not do. To go again later this week to band ,would just be too much on birds.
But it was raining and the rain was blowing in nest box and chicks were getting real wet, so Gord took youngsters out while workers were there to keep them warm and dry. No way adults would go to box with workers near by.
So they are banded and Gord will send the info to me. Peter forgot to ask for it. He believes 3 males. I am still saying one is female, as they were young when banded. one was day 16 and the other 2 were day 19.
Pictures will come when we download them.
