The kids were banded today....2 males!! The are having a naming contest!!

Band numbers...and I don't know if this is a typo, but here goes...

r/b 13/K (red 13 over black K? or black K over red 13 or black 13 over red K?... :girlcrazy:

)
bl/b 96/N

so, next time anybody is watching this cam, could they please look at the bands? :teehee:

Those colors are backwards!!!!

Westar seemed to think that both Chicks were male, but banded the Largest one as a Female.

The Band #'s are:

Band # for Chick #1 (the largest and oldest) is N-Black/96 Blue. (1957-1866).
Band # for Chick #2 (the smallest) is K-Black/13 Red. (1156-17356).

Westar will release the names of the Chicks next week.

CORRECTION: Westar gave the the Band #'s backwards. I have corrected that here.

Thanks for the clarification, Munchie...I figured the #'s were listed wrong..

Took me forever to coax the one in the back of the box to come forward for the pic.

#5 not visible on cam..

The one on top of the box was having a good old time...it was hop/flapping between the box and the outer perch..only problem was that at one point it landed on the back of one of its siblings, almost taking both of them over the edge..

OMG, glad I didn't see that. Good pics.

I actually looked for the 5th chick in the box for a few seconds.

Westar Energy is pleased to announce the Official Names for our 2017 Chicks:

Chick #1 (the oldest and largest) is now the proud owner of the name MOOSE. Chick #2 (obviously the smallest and youngest by one day), is the proud owner of the name Salvy.

Thanks Munchie...Moose...hahahahahahahahaha...good one.

Exactly one month after he hatched, Salvy (Chick #2 and the smallest), has had enough of Moose getting most of the food. Yup, in one graceful leap, he was out on the platform with Nemaha, and got fed very well. So well, that Nemaha had to come back about 20 mins later to feed Moose...LOL. Sadly, I missed "the moment" by mere seconds. These Falcons love to keep the humanoids on their toes for sure. Enjoy.

RE: Topeka

Well, it appears that both fledged today!! Salvy on purpose and Moose by accident!! Moose needed rescue and is currently being checked out..Westar posted some great pics on their FB page.

Sadly, I missed the fledging of Salvy this morning. However, I was lucky enough to catch Moose on the loose, with a fludge, instead of a fledge. Will update ya'll when I hear more. Enjoy.
