Kansas City Falcon Chicks Get Tracker Bands, Names in Heartwarming Ceremony

Kansas City Law Firm Celebrates Coming-of-Age of Falcon Chicks A heartwarming story unfolded in downtown Kansas City this week as the Shook, Hardy & Bacon law firm celebrated the banding of three peregrine falcon chicks hatched on their building's roof. The event, a partnership with the Missouri Department of Conservation, highlights the firm's commitment to environmental stewardship and community engagement. The three chicks, named Goalden, Sassafras, and Moose, hatched in late March. Their mother, Endura, has been a regular nester at the building since 2018, raising a remarkable 28 chicks since 2016. This year's banding ceremony was a joyous occasion, attended by firm employees and conservation officials. "It's amazing to witness these birds thrive in the heart of our city," said Christopher Cain of the Missouri Department of Conservation. "The bands will help us track their journey and learn more about their survival." The firm's dedication to providing a safe nesting habitat for the falcons serves as a symbol of urban wildlife conservation and the positive impact businesses can have on their environment. The story of Goalden, Sassafras, and Moose is a testament to the resilience of nature and the power of community partnerships.
