I'll be in a meeting most of the morning so will miss TPC on the radio and won't be able to make it down to the banding either. But it'll be great to see the video! Hope all goes smoothly and without injury (injury to TPC, that is -- I think those beaks and talons are wicked!).

TPC will be on CBC 89.3 within the next hour to talk about the banding.

Looks like a good morning for it - 14 now with 17 for the morning

TPC, will there be a video of the banding on YouTube? I am thinking about coming downtown to see all the happenings tomorrow. I owe this to myself. Hope I don't need an umbrella. GCG ;D I am definitely a phanatic falcon fan. :)
Me  too, unless its to wet!  I think I'd like to watch the parents, and with any luck some of the banding will be taped?

I'll keep an eye out for you, Des!  GCG, I'll look for the typical phanatic, staring up at the sky.....
Last year I came down and watched as well,  and might make it down tomorrow. Where do you watch from, Portage or Graham?

The Kinderchicklets will be participating in their school Children's Festival tomorrow morning so won't be in their classroom to watch the Radisson banding. Darn! :( But I have told them that we will likely be able to watch the video that Eye-Spy will be making. Right E-S? :-*

I would be happy to make it available to you guys !

Just witnessed a feeding frenzy - the funniest thing I've seen in a long time.  Ivy brought in a nice sized chunk which should have made a nice snack for everyone, right?  Ivy barely brought it into the nest when one chick ran off with the whole piece.  S/he and a sibling proceeded to rip into it while the other chicks shrieked.  Ivy did manage to get the meal back and held it in place with both claws.

He tried to rip it apart as fast as he could while trying to prevent the same chick from taking it away from him.  The chick did eventually win.  At that point Princess dropped in and Ivy gave up.  Poor Ivy!  Those chicks are getting so strong. They won't need their parents tearing their meals apart much longer. ;D

The plan is to tape the banding and ideally have it posted to our YouTube Channel within 24 hours ...

But Eye-Spy is our technical wizard so I'm going to defer to him as to how it will happen as I really don't know how he is going to rig the system for the event.

Ivy stopped by with a tiny bit of a snack that didn't last long.
