Buffalo, NY – Biologists from the state Department of Environmental Conservation were on UB's South Campus Monday to place metal tracking bands on some Peregrine Falcon chicks.
The chicks are nesting atop a heating plant tower on the South Campus. DEC Wildlife Biologist Connie Adams says banding the chicks will help researchers track their whereabouts.
Adams says the chicks will soon learn how to fly and should be ready to leave the nest for good by late August.
