Here is a link to a video taken of the banding here in Hamilton. It will give you an idea of how noisy it is around the nest and what the falcons go through each and every year. Madame X is a fiesty falcon that will defend her babes till the end!

"UNTIL ONE HAS LOVED AN ANIMAL, PART OF THEIR SOUL REMAINS UNAWAKENED"
He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.
