Right now is banding day for the peregrine falcon chicks on the Cathedral of Studying. The occasion is closed to the general public (the room has a really strict occupancy restrict!) however you’ll see among the motion on the Nationwide Aviary falconcam.

The chicks will obtain well being checks and leg bands and be returned to the nest in lower than half an hour.
Keep tuned for pictures from the occasion and an replace on who’s who.

Right here’s our radar simply earlier than 7am. The Cathedral of Studying is within the middle of the map, slightly below the “tt” within the phrase Pittsburgh.
