~UB Peregrine Banding Day~

Mom Misty just discovered her babies missing from the nestbox when she returned from hunting with her prey and flew to the box to feed her chicks.

Mom's band numbers, previously captured in a photo by Joyce Miller, a Rochester Peregrine watch, were confirmed today by Mark Kandel who climbed the tower to band the babies.
