Today was banding day for the peregrine falcon chicks at San Jose City Hall. It official, there are 2 girls and 1 boy. The event started around 8am when Brian of the SCPBRG repelled down to the ledge containing the nest box. He then proceeded to band each of the chicks while Clara, the mother, kept swooping in hoping to scare the intruder away. I managed to watch the entire event on the web cam, and I believe additional video footage from Brian’s helmet cam will be posted eventually. The picture on the left was taken by Nick Dunlop from the roof of City Hall. There are (currently) additional photos on the Mayor’s webpage.
