Successful banding in Omaha

May 27, 2016 Joel Jorgensen

This morning, Betsy Finch and Janet Stander from Fontenelle Forest’s Raptor Recovery, as well as Lauren Dinan and I, banded the four Peregrine Falcon eyases at the WoodmenLife Tower in downtown Omaha. As an added bonus, Betsy Finch was able to capture the adult female, named Charity, at the nest box so that we could also band this previously unbanded adult bird. The effort was successful and below are a few photos from this morning’s fun.
