Posted on the cam page:

    On May 24, DEC staff were working carefully to band two peregrine chicks at the University at Buffalo nest box, which has been a productive site since the spring of 2009. Banding young birds in nests each year enables biologists to track productivity and populations of peregrine falcons. Upon opening the box to access the nestlings, one chick bumped the other off the edge to the ground below. This rare and unfortunate incident occurred quickly and was unavoidable. To ensure the safety of future nestlings, DEC will assess future banding efforts at this site. We regret the loss of this young peregrine.


:sorrow: :tissue:

If you look at the ledge cam, the 1 chick is on the far left, in the shade. parent in the box shading no one.

This has always been an accident just waiting to happen. Ever since they "fixed" the box, they lost MOST of the porch area, so except for a small ledge outside the box, there's just no where else to go...so, so sad.

there are no words to express how I am feeling. but those that know me, will know what I am thinking.

But I will state that never ceases to amaze me, how these things can just be brushed off with an oops

I have not had time to watch last bit, but Yankee and Dixie have prevailed in spite of the perils at thi s site.

Don't know how you can anticipate this. This is always my greatest worry when it's time for banding. Many sites have made adaptions to the nest box to prevent this, although some only after it happened. Anyway isn't this the same nest where they put a transmitter on the back of a female fledgling and she fell right to the ground on her first flight? Sorry.

Poor little dear.

Note:
That happened three or four years ago and if it wasn't the nest at UB I am pretty certain it was a nest in Buffalo.

Yes...same site. She took off with a transmitter that didn’t look like it was attached on correctly and they never found either her or the transmitter. It never signaled either, if I remember right.

Well, Dixie and baby are both looking out from the nestbox. I hope baby stays on the nestbox ledge- it’s pretty windy there.
