BANDING
May 25, 2022
The peregrine eyases have been banded! Thank you to raptor biologist, Craig Koppie, with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Chesapeake Bay Field Office for banding the four eyases last week. Craig confirmed there were 2 females and 2 males.

I watched this nest for a bit- I only saw 2 babies at a time, but I saw there are 4 in all. One little boy is practicing short “flights” up to the beam in the middle, and back down…

One juvie here is wingercising like crazy. He has been on the large beam for quite a while, running back and forth while flapping his wings. He only stopped briefly when a sibling came walking into cam view from the left…The beam walker stared at its sibling for a few seconds, and then continued on his way running and flapping… He even got a bit of lift a couple times- he almost has it figured out…

Nest cam is located on the 33rd-floor ledge of the Transamerica skyscraper in downtown Baltimore, Maryland.

I believe the cam was “live” and I caught a peregrine posing on the beam….until he/she flew off.

I caught a falcon posing on the “beam” gazing off, probably trying to find his girl. Locals say it is Boh2 and Barb3 again this year.

Aww- Bo and Barb had a beautiful bonding session just now…

Racine pair are already showing bonding interest - seems early ...
no sign yet of GSB pair ...

Barb was checking out the scrape and evidently Boh flew by. He must have circled back, landing somewhere near. She went into a frenzy of chupping and hopped off cam….

By rolling the cam back, it seems Barb was perched on “the beam” from Midnight until 6 AM…
