Our cameras will be down for a while as we retrieve the chicks from the box and band them. The staff from Rapture Recovery Nebraska – Denise Lewis, Betsy Finch and Janet Stander – will be banding, taking blood samples and checking the overall health of the chicks while they have them inside. And of course as this is happening, Zeus and Hera will be circling overhead. Photos will be posted, as well as a video, as soon as we can. Stay tuned to find out how many females and males were hatched. And don't forget to enter the Name the Falcons contest sponsored by Action 3 News. Details to follow.
This has been very exciting watching the hatching, growth and futures of these lovely Falcons. I am an avid bird lover, rescuer and protector! Thank you for your service.
