This morning band numbers 16 and 17 were visible, but I agree, let's wait for the official word from RRP.
Elaine brought one all-black bird for early breakfast and fed the eyases.  A short while later, she brought another cedar wax wing and ate it herself, the little ones were plenty full already.

Amy posted the official numbers and names for GSB, see the Home page.  Also very helpful info about the banding rules and procedures.  She didn't explain how they determine the sex of the eyases at banding time; is it just size, weight, appearance, or something more scientific like a blood test? Good news that the youngsters are free of external parasites.

Shep, Can't see the numbers in your pic, but will trust that you have a bigger screen!

At the 6:00 AM food delivery, one of the eyases had a little tug-o-bird with Elaine.  She is still defeathering prey and feeding the eyases most of the time.
