Scientists and college students on Wednesday carefully attached metal tracking bands to the fluffy white chicks’ legs.

The chicks could be seen resting calmly in their nest later Wednesday, under the watchful eye of a parent. Moments earlier, Fedewa and Jim Schneider with the university’s Department of Fisheries and Wildlife journeyed up to the roof to retrieve the chicks despite their parents — Freyja and Apollo — angrily screeching and hovering above. They were named in a Twitter contest, and a Michigan elementary school decided on the chicks’ monikers.
