In Harrisburg heeft eentje het niet gered. Die hebben ze in laten slapen. Het enige mannetje was te zwaar gewond aan zijn poten door een aanvaring met een trein als ik het goed heb begrepen..

The blue-banded female remains on the nest ledge. She appears to be in good health. She is probably the youngest and is taking her good time before fledging. The green-banded female was rescued from the street last evening and released on the roof of the Rachel Carson Building- she returned to the ledge this morning. The yellow and red-banded females continue to take short flights back and forth from lower rooftops. The white-banded male has not been as fortunate. He was discovered injured along a nearby rail line this morning. Both of his legs were severely injured. He was transported to a nearby Wildlife Rescue Center where he will be euthanized.
En in New Jersey is er de 15de geringd. 2 vrouwtjes 1 mannetje.

On Friday, June 12, we banded the three nestlings at 101 Hudson. Two are females and one is male. Their size difference is often evident on the camera, as the male is about 1/3 smaller than his sisters.
While there, and while the nestlings were safely inside in a covered box and resting, we moved the outside camera so that it looks directly into the nest box. As viewers will see, we changed the camera feeds so that the live, streaming view is now from the outside camera, zoomed out so that we can see when the adults are perched next to the box. The inside-box view is available, but only on the still picture page.
We also left a small ramp at the nest box, because experience has shown that as the nestlings approach 4 weeks of age, they get restless and jump out of the box; without the ramp they cannot reenter the box easily. They’re in no danger, though, because they could find cover under the box, but the comfort of the box seems to be an important factor.
While we don’t have the close-up, streaming view of the nestlings in the box, we are seeing more of what goes on outside the box: the tiercel tends to sit above the box, and at times both adults can be seen in view, sitting nearby their young.
During banding, examination showed all three young to be very healthy. We attached the numbered federal band on their right leg, and a bicolor (black over green) band on their left leg. Their color band numbers are A/11 and A/12 for the females, and 72/W for the male. The adults remain extremely protective of their young, and we were lucky to depart unscathed and unscratched. As the nestlings approach 4-5 weeks of age no one will approach the nest area, to make sure the young birds take their time as they become ready to take their first flight.
ENSP biologist Mick Valent prepares for another diving attack as Kathy Clark returns the chicks to the nestbox.
Ook hier werd door de ouders de ringactie niet echt op prijs gesteld.
