It's not an accident.

OK. I worked it out...

!!! 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!

From my banding file...

Striker   97/Y B/B   yellow      May. 18 2011   Scarborough, ON, Canada

Son of Linn & Reuben!

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

Love the Dot arriving in a blur shots!

 

Nice juicy brunch!

Good morning Dot!

Portrait day!

   

Egg sitting through Saturday!

at NB for his shift. 12:40 Ei

and I want to Thank Beauty for picking Rochester for her home, winning our respect and LOVE, and for training DC to be a good mate. way to go girl!

Now here's a question to ponder. Did beauty pick Rochester, or did she merely follow Archer?

Hmmm...did she arrive the same time as Archer? I don't honestly recall whether Archer was here for a while before taking up briefly with Mariah. I think Beauty spent the winter at BS before she displaced Mariah.

Have to dig back in the history to refresh my memory...

Here is the photo! 

And a beautiful egg it is! Thanks!

Woot just laid!!!  #4 is here!!!

Phooey! Been watching her all day...phone rang & I missed it, but ...

Woo Hoo!!!

And made into a proper collage...

Found it!

April 14, 2015 - Scarborough - Yellow Pages
Marion Nash Reports:

Kathy and I went out to take a look at the Yellow Pages nest today to see 3 eggs now for the Petra/Yellow Pages Falcons. The male was not in site but the female was closely guarding her eggs and would not fly off so I was not able to confirm her band numbers.

Well, I personally have no doubt this is Linn...Mark Nash took this in 2009 or 2010
