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

The Syracuse cam is down again, and the site shows this message:

Give it up! The falcon cam is down until at least Monday. WCS is working on a new camera. The new camera will include full streaming video.

Great news!  Thanks!

!!! New Male on Site - Positively ID’d
March 16, 2015 - Etobicoke - Sun Life Centre

Kathy Reports:

This morning I noticed the male had a dark band on his left leg and some other distinguishing features that were not attributed to our resident male Jack.

Tracy was kind enough to come down to the site and has just positively ID’d our new male as Lucky - who was previously seen romancing Quest until the Don Mills resident male Skey returned from migration last week.

We are attempting to determine if Jack is at his other site and will return or if this is settled.  O’Connor and he have been bowing to each other so she is certainly welcoming him which may indicate a territorial battle over the weekend.

Just read your post on CPF.  Wow..so many changes..like musical chairs!! I hope Jack is OK. 

On March 7, 19/K had a territorial battle with his son, Mintaka, in the nest box. 19/K lost. I believe he has returned to Lincoln. I did see a peregrine at the Lincoln nest yesterday; not sure if it was 19/K.

Video of the battle:

Wow..not good! Is Hera still at this site?  I used to watch it but haven't checked it this year. 

5 eggs!  Thanks, Alison..hope things work out this year too!

It doesn't appear that there's any activity here this year..nothing on Twitter by Chris and no blog postings since Feb.

Thanks for posting.
There is still no news about where the owl comes from and if he/she is banded.

Wherever they decide to relocate it, hopefully it doesn't return to the same area.  Does it have a nest somewhere?

From Hamilton Facebook:

NEW ADULT. This image was just captured on the Hamilton nest ledge. Green band over black. This new bird is closely associating with Ossie already, suggesting that it is a new female. This naturally leads to the question, "where is Madame X?" We would ask that people not post speculations and guesses. We all know what this could mean. MX could be either driven off or possibly down and injured. So if anyone living around the downtown area (really, most locations from the water front to the mountain) want to go for a stroll and keep an eye out for an injured falcon, please feel free to do so. If you find a bird down, please call Hamilton Animal control, and e-mail our contact address on our website. Thanks!

Was just going to post this.  I wondered when I saw her face and foot yesterday if something wasn't going on.  How sad for her. 

Didn't they have like 6 eggs last year?? They had to take a few out?

All 6 hatched, 2 were removed because they weren't getting much food and I don't think either of them survived. 

2 GHO have taken over the nest this year and have 2 eggs..they have no idea where Eve and Mitchell are or if they're OK.   

Red Girl and Trinity have 3 eggs so far!
