2 eggs so far!!!   

WELCOME, LILY! Monday, March 16, 2015 - Hamilton's latest arrival now has a name! Some serious detective work was needed to verify that a minor discrepancy in the banding database was indeed just a clerical error. Today, with the assistance of Barb Baldinger and Karen Cleveland from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, we were able to confirm the identity of the new female Peregrine at the Sheraton Hamilton nest as "Lily", hatched in 2010, at the Grand Haven Board of Light & Power plant, in Michigan. The Michigan DNR was kind enough to forward to us some photos of Lily when she was banded by biologist Nik Kalejs (shown here). Lily was named by the students of Holmes Elementary School as part of a fund-raising effort which saw them raising $500 towards the costs of the banding programme there. They will be proud to know the falcon they named looks like she is going to make a name for herself here in Hamilton! Our best wishes are with Lily and Ossie for a successful breeding season!

On BCAW, they're saying Hera is gone and an unbanded female has replaced her.  Lots of missing senior Falcons!   

Oh not her too!! The "new Kids on the Block" are taking over all the nests!! It was bound to happen! Too many falcons, not enough nests or space!! No more now, OK??   

   

Ustream is running real slow. B and DC were already in the nest, DC gone, Beauty still there and it has not even showed up on the live stream yet!! 

Poor Lucky doesn't seem very lucky.  He avoided tangling with Skye only to fly into the territory of Skye's dad, Jack.

Yes and Jack is 13, can he mess with a young boy??? I hope Jack is OK.

Maybe Jack will just stay with his other mate and be happy with 1!!

Maybe so.  Hey, Jack's boy Dot.ca seems to have forgotten about Pigott and is happy with Beauty right now.

DC's a changed man!!! I hope!  

Maybe Jack will just stay with his other mate and be happy with 1!!

Oh no, not Jack too!! I want a do over of the whole season so far!!

Every time I look, he or she is in that same spot!   

Who was the 3rd Falcon, the female? I could only watch for a few seconds. Don't like to see these fights!! It didn't look too brutal in the beginning! My  is pounding way too much!!
