Lansing/Genoa/Cassville Banding
- Clip
one: Bob and Rob go up the Lansing stack to
get chicks for banding (4.47MB)
- Clip
two: Bob and Rob get to the top of the stack.
Note how agitated the peregrines become (1.56MB)
- Clip
three: Peregrines protecting their nest. My
handheld video recorder was not quite up to the
task of recording swooping peregrines, but I hope
this gives some feel for what it was like (3.10MB)
- Clip
four: Banding the babies. A close up look at
banding a baby falcon. The purple band is the US
Fish and Wildlife band. Its color signifies that
the banded falcon is wild. The black and green
band is the color band. Its color signifies the
midwestern region. The red tool that Bob uses is
a special banding pliers that is similar in some
respects to a pop rivet gun. It is sized so that
the falcon's leg cannot be damaged. Although the
baby falcon is clearly unhappy, banding does not
damage or hurt it.

This
banding was done at Dairyland Power Cooperative's
Genoa plant
on the banks of the Mississippi River in SW WI.
The falcons are nesting in a nest box on the stack
at
roughly the 400' level. John Thiel and David
Kester went up
the stack in an elevator to collect the chicks.
The kennel that Bob takes the chick out of is used
to
safely transport all of the chicks from the
stack to the ground. Bob is banding both legs. The color band number goes
on the right leg and the FWS band number goes on the
left leg. Although you hear me say the name 'Scorcher',
the chick was named Target.
This banding was done in between intense thunderstorms
that dropped a lot of rain (and some tornados) on Trempeleau
County. After all of the chicks are banded, they are
taken up the stack and carefully put into back into
the nestbox.
