In collaboration with the biologists from the Pennsylvania Game Commission, all three of Harrisburg's young peregrine falcons (eyasses) were fitted with identification bands.

Banding provides biologists the ability to identify a specific, individual bird. It also can provide information on where the bird was banded, how old it was at banding, and its sex. Each young falcon was banded, weighed, and given a physical exam. All three had clear eyes and a clear throat, indicating they are free of trichomoniasis.

There are two males and one female. The males were banded 04/BZ and 23/CA, and the female was banded 05/BZ.
