The big secret is out... Banding at approx 10 AM today. Happy that they will be banded. Unhappy that they find out 30 min before. Of course today is the day I will be gone all day and have to leave shortly. If they band quickly, I should be able to get it recorded.

Ridiculous.

Sorry. NO OFFENSE to anyone in Rochester as I know you have all been waiting too.

Darn! Hope you get to record it! It's been this last minute thing ever since the box left Kodak. :egg15:

I'm sorry Kris. Please know I mean NO OFFENSE.

I've got it. up. I'll record. Won't be any volume as I am going to superspeed the video anyway.

I'm going to start recording now as I have to get in shower. As long as they are done within an hour, should be okay. I guess I should be happy they are doing it early. If they had decided to do it in the afternoon, I would not have been able to record.

Please forgive my rant.

I wasn't offended at all so don't worry...just happy they're banding! 2 in box and 2 out should make it interesting, to say the least!

Maybe I'm being crazy, but I'm concerned about the one in the very corner with blue feet. He/She had her talons up when put back in. Now, head is back and she's not moving at all.

Please let me be crazy.

I'm already going to be late for my appointment..

I see what you mean, I thought it was just the stills not refreshing fast enough.

No, she's not moving. Honestly, I don't even see her breathing. The others are panting and frozen in place.

They are talking on stream that they think the baby was scared to death... literally. No joking.

mwplay · **Joined:** Sun Feb 28, 2010 12:15 am **Posts:** 10250

I'm not the only one not seeing movement.

Oh this is horrible.

Baby was moving when it was put in the box...not moving now. I'm sick!!! I've notified MAK who has sent out an alert.

She was in corner with that one talon that is curled, held up. Never seen anything like it. Next think I look and she's got her head back. I thought she was just in a weird position, but she's not moving at all. Again, the others are at least panting.

It can actually happen so they shouldn't joke, the stress can kill them. DNR better get back up there if it's not moving on Stream either.

No one is joking on stream. Many don't see any breathing. One thought maybe she was just frozen in place, or fainted.

This is so sad to see

I think she's gone.

She was the loudest baby crying when put back. She had her talons up. She just slowly put her head back and feet relaxed. I just moved fast through my video and I see no breathing, just a down feather moving with wind unless she has moved since I've been typing.

Beauty is back on deck now and other babies are looking at her. No movement yet that I can see.

mwplay · **Joined:** Sun Feb 28, 2010 12:15 am **Posts:** 10250

Others on stream think she's gone too.

mwplay · **Joined:** Sun Feb 28, 2010 12:15 am **Posts:** 10250

Oh Thank God, she's moving.

You know, I really do think she went into some kind of state...

When Glenn bands them, sometimes on their back on his lap because I guess they just go limp/frozen.

That's what she did.

I can't believe what my heart just went through. Maybe all our prayers were heard.
