I'm guessing he has been confirmed and Mark was just posting 'catch up posts' as this was just posted after the first original post.

Baby got banded!

Rare falcon born atop Oshawa hospital

A happy, healthy and feathered baby arrived recently at an Ontario hospital to a pair of rare peregrine falcons nesting atop Lakeridge Health in Oshawa.

Engineering staff noticed the birds — and their egg — while doing roof work atop the hospital.

The baby falcon, believed to have hatched roughly one month ago, was discovered earlier this week, according to a statement from hospital officials.

These birds are not seen very often,� said Lakeridge CEO Kevin Empey. “When we first noticed them, we alerted birding professionals because they track each one. And now they have a new baby to track.�

The female chick was named Salveo, Latin for “to be well� or “to be in good health.� She weighs 910 grams and has been declared very healthy, the hospital said.

Peregrine falcons all but disappeared in much of their Canadian range after heavy use of DDT in 1950s. The population started to rebound after the toxic chemical was banned in the 1970s.

There are 84 breeding pairs of peregrine falcons in Ontario. Four chicks were born to another another pair in Windsor earlier this year.

We bow again to Madame X and Surge    Another new nest site - another Hamilton offspring 

ou know - it's interesting that they didn't offspring here this year and yet one after the other lately we're finding their previous offspring nesting. 

Here is the latest one - another new nest site!

!! New Beachville nest in southern Ontario has a locally produced male named Joe from Hamilton Ontario as one of the residents on site!

A big thank you to Lucie and Richard Kirchknoph who ventured down to Beachville Ontario this weekend to investigate a report of nesting peregrines.
Their efforts paid off as they were able to identify the resident adult male via his leg band number and identify that the resident adult female is also banded with a solid Black leg band, telling us that they are both Canadian produced peregrines. Reports of the peregrines having produced offspring this year have been coming in this past week and we have some some good news to report thanks to Lucie and Richard.

Hi Guys
Good investigation guys!!
The Pefa that you reported having a solid black band number turns up in our banding data base as:

A peregrine named “Joe� that was produced at the Hamilton Sheraton Hotel in 2010
He was a very small underweight male – weighing in at only 492 grams at banding, banded at 23 days old, on May 31st – 2010  His mother is Madame X as she has been called and his father is named Surge.

Surge was produced at the Etobicoke nest site (Bloor & Islington) in 2002
Madame X was produced at a nest site in Wilkes-Barre in the USA in 1999 and was nick-named – “Runaround Sue� due to her promiscuous background / history that was reported to us way back in 2000.

So maybe we need to move the Oshawa posts to an offspring page...maybe Rochester Grand-eyases...

Anyway...Oshawa is East of Toronto proper near Whitby & Pickering, which were 2 of Quest's haunts during her Grand Tour. I think Linn was seen in Whitby too before settling in Scarborough.

Anyway...Pictures by Tracy Simpson of Alfreda...

   

 

...and Simcoe

 

And I need to dig...I have the spelling as Alfreda, not Alfrieda...Joyce, do you know which is correct?
