Banding Day

Here is Clara, the concerned Mother Peregrine Falcon, hounding and screeching around the intruder
to her nest box. The naturalist had repelled down from the roof of the San Jose City Hall building
to band her three young chicks.

Here is another picture of Clara flying around the City Hall

More pics from Nick Dunlop from the roof of the building can be viewed at http://www.sanjoseca.gov/mayor/
