May 08, 2021 - Hamilton - Sheraton Hotel
Marion Nash Reports:
Saturday, May 8, 2021 - With mere days or even hours to go before Hamilton chicks hatch, a new adult peregrine has appeared on the Sheraton Hamilton Hotel. Shortly after 9am, while Lily was brooding her eggs, this adult landed on the second ledge, and appeared to settle in, with no apparent reaction from Lily. We were able to observe his bands, and begin the process of identification.
Afternoon update: We have now identified this bird as a male named Judson, fledged in 2018 from the Richardson Complex in Buffalo, New York. And in a delightful turn of events, one of his parents is Felker who fledged from Hamilton in 2012! So the prodigal (grand)son of Madame X and Surge returns!
Later on in the day, Judson landed on the main nest ledge once, again without too much reaction from Lily. From this, we deduce that Ossie may have lost a territorial battle and been driven off. Always a bit sad to see one of our falcons go, but this is the way of nature. Lily will soon adjust to this new situation, and hopefully by the time the chicks are little eating machines, Judson will be hunting for them, just as Ossie would have.

After the release of Bacquerel we have been monitoring the 18 King St nest and can now confirm that he is back with the sub-adult female there and so far is unchallenged by another male.
Thank you Urban Forests for the photo.

DON MILLS UPDATE: Great news! We have a hatch…or two? Congrats to Quest & Mystery! I have been dropping by daily, waiting to catch a feeding and was rewarded tonight!! Mystery brought a nice package for his growing family. There was even a nice moment where they both looked at the kids! Mystery was off and Quest got down to business and fed her brood. She lovingly talked to them the whole time, it was so sweet. I will be watching to find out how many we have over the next week and of course, as they grow. I added a couple of pics from the last few days as well.
