6-9-2008 It was an early morning wake-up call for Allentown's famous falcon family. The 4 young were taken out of their nest atop the PPL building and brought indoors for banding.
Students from several area schools watched as the falcons were first put into holding bags and weighed. The official results...one male and 3 females. But, no matter the sex, they all got the same accessories...two bands...which help experts track survival of the recovering species, among other things.
A U.S. Fish and Wildlife band was placed on the right leg with a 9 digit number unique to the bird. So, a band with 3 large digits that can be read with binoculars or a telescope is placed on the other leg. Each falcon is also given a piece of colored tape that will help experts monitor its progress when it starts to fly in a few weeks.
