!!! News From Brampton
April 21, 2015 - Brampton - Courthouse
Marion Nash Reports:

As witnessed by Toivo earlier in the week, mating continues at the Brampton courthouse. The pair, who have claimed the courthouse as their own, are an unbanded female and a banded male 97/Y and his name is Striker. (Tracy can you insert some info on Striker, how old, hatch location.ect)

The pair can most often be found on the north ledge of the courthouse however this is often too close for comfort for another nesting pair of falcons who call the courthouse home. On the other side of the courthouse are a pair of American Kestrels; our smallest falcons. At the moment, you may be lucky enough to see the two having quite the midair battle.
Incredible speeds and stoops can be witnessed as the kestrels try to scare off the peregrines. So far this behavior has been unsuccessful on the part of the kestrels. Hopefully, we will see two active and successful falcon nests in the near future!

actually looks like the male

nest box, camera, peregrines, traffic all using the existing bridge as shown in your photo.  Construction on new NY bridge happening in water right next to it with barges and cranes.  Projected winter of 2017 for changes.





Amazing that they're tolerating all the construction!  Thanks for the info and welcome to the forum!

Cams are down and we may miss watching her raise her babies.

Unfortunately the cable connecting one the cameras appears to be disconnected, this may have been a result of the weather. We have contacted the DEC to help us reconfigure the cable but we may not be able to fix this unil the banding. Sorry.. Wish we could do more.

And as we see every year, Rhea Mae and Tiago have shuffled the eggs down far enough that we may not see them hatch!



        Never fails!   laugh

I was watching about 11.30 AM EDT and caught a couple pics of the eggs that are a bit clearer.

Great catch!

The Lassie laid her third egg today, 4-20.  She seems to be doing a good job in filling the shoes of The Lady!  2thumbsup

Guess no eggs here this season. Wonder where they went?   Sad

That's odd.  Looks like a few cranes around it..maybe that's why?
