PEREGRINE FALCON BANDING DAY AT THE MAYO CLINIC

Just beyond the far edge in the photo is the nesting box of the Mayo Clinic's Peregrine Falcons.  Thanks to organizations like the Mayo Clinic and the Midwest Peregrine Society the once endangered Peregrine Falcon has made a strong comeback.  I was lucky enough to witness the banding of the chick this year.  The next 9 photos document this great event.
