Anybody heard any news of when the Indiana nest will be banded? Petersburg is being banded TODAY at 10:30! Cross your fingers they can fix their cam easily.

Aww- naptime at Moxie and Jamie’s house! One chick is parked right in front of dad :loveheart:

Soarin’ Hawk Raptor Resource of Fort Wayne have posted a notice on Facebook. Moxie and Jamie’s kiddos will be banded on Friday, May 19 at 3:30. They invite us to watch by the live cam, and hopefully a livestream provided by Indiana and Michigan or a Facebook live by a Soarin’ Hawk Raptor Resource volunteer. They will let us know as more details become available :biggrin:

The 2020 daughter of Moxie and Jamie (black/blue S/07) is alive and well. She turned up in Pittsburgh at the Cathedral of Learning!

And, Pittsburg has decided to keep her name, “Carla”, named after a long time, retired employee of Indiana Michigan Power, Carla E. Simpson

Thank you so much to this group!! I am excited to find out about Carla and will share this with the Fort Wayne crowd on FB

I haven't heard anything from the Indiana Michigan folks regarding a live stream so I will be doing a facebook live event myself. You can catch it here at 3:30pm EST today, 5-19-23: https://www.facebook.com/soarinhawk
If you miss the live event, it will be on our FB page afterwards.

Again, many thanks for all you do!!!

Thanks so much, Apollo!! Sadly, I will be at work...would love to get band numbers if we can...we record them every year on our calendar...ya never know when a youngster will show up.

similar size..similar coloring...3 males or 3 females...kinda leaning toward female...but, not sure...anyway:

Skygirlblue....I will definitely provide that info once I get back home!!! I'm leaning on 2 female one male myself :loveheart:

Thanks so much, Apollo! My husband and I need to go on an errand that cannot be delayed, but I’m pretty sure we can be home by 3:30 (fingers crossed)

Do they notice anything?

Tsusan · **Posted:** Fri May 19, 2023 3:19 pm

The direction Moxie is looking in your picture, Catwoman, is the direction the banders come from. It’s almost like she knows! Moxie sure gave the banding team quite the greeting last year! All 3 chicks napping… will the hoomans come pretty soon? Oops boy is up again! :biggrin:

Tsusan · **Posted:** Fri May 19, 2023 4:05 pm

Oh oh- babies are scrambling….I would say the hoomans are coming…Yes I see legs!

Tsusan · **Posted:** Fri May 19, 2023 4:10 pm

They will take the babies down inside the building to be banded. You can be sure Moxie and Jamie are raising a ruckus!! One person will remain to clean out debris in then nestbox. It usually takes around 20 to 30 minutes to band them and put them back in the nest. Moxie will plant herself near the box waiting impatiently for Her babies to be returned…. I’m going to check the Facebook feed now….

Tsusan · **Posted:** Fri May 19, 2023 4:30 pm

The babies are coming back- 2 boys and a girl, Squirt, Stuart and Marshmallow :loveheart:

Moxie is waiting on the wall behind the nestbox...Irs fun to watch the people duck as stealth Moxie goes by!

Thanks for your commentary, Tsusan! :CLAPS:

This a what the chicks were doing right after they were banded.
