Another successful Woodmen banding

Joel Jorgensen May 27, 2015 Comments Off on Another successful Woodmen banding

We were fortunate again this late spring to make the trek up to the Woodmen Building to band the Peregrine Falcon eyases in Omaha.  As usual, we partnered with personnel from Fontenelle Forest’s Raptor Recovery along with our friends from Woodmen of the World.  Below are a few photos from the event.  If you are curious about number of males and females and other juicy details, please visit the Woodmen’s Peregrine Falcon site.

Good birding!
