John photographed the agitated Peregrine Falcon parents with a super telephone lens while Diana removes the chicks for banding..
The male has since been indentified using other higher definition video camera mounted outside the box as Daniel, band D/83, born in 2005 at the 4th and Vine Tower in Cincinnati. This bird had previously tried to nest in Springfield last year with female Kachina (99/B-Toledo 2004). Their nesting attempt failed and Kachina was found dead in Dayton this past Feb. following a collision with a building. Daniel's new mate is un-banded and unidentified.
