Lori, thanks so much for the gifs of the banding process.  Great stuff and good to know more about this year's little ones. 
The main camera went to highlights during the process, but the nest box cam stayed on. 

When the eyases were in the transfer cage, John cleaned out most of the old feathers and waste and that will reduce the flies.  He also sprayed the box, but someone will have to tell us with what and why.  The whole procedure took only about an hour.

Some pics from the rewind.

STL and Lori same here. Many thanks for update and info and photos.

In Lori's last gif, both Newman and Savanna are checking on the kiddos.  Things got back to normal quickly, and feeding resumed.
Great work RRP!

They definitely were not happy parents for a while.  I'll have some pictures, but need to go through them.  Lori you have a message.

Ok here is an album I uploaded, I know not everyone is on FaceBook and had shared them there. 
There were two angry parents (Savanna hatched in Fargo, ND and Newman).  After being brought up in a carrier the young were banded.  It was cute they sat there in the order they were set down.  One boy and three girls.  After their banding they were put in the carrier and taken back down to the nest box.  Savanna & Newman settled right down.

I shared this album, so you should be able to open it.
