The banding of our young was one of the important steps in the ongoing monitoring of our falcon family. We've watched since mating began, and documented egg arrival and hatch dates, which enabled the scheduling of the banding event.
Over the weeks to come the young will change from white fluffy chicks into brown juvenile falcons. An overly cautious estimate is that they will be considering first flights as early as June 19th (males) or June 23rd (females), and fledge watch will be roughly June 19th through June 27th depending on the activities of the young.
Residents, in the weeks to come, if you have any falcon-related concerns please report them to Security and/or Marlene, or through the contact link on this site.
