Canada Falcons: All but those hatched in Rochester

[patsy6]

Oh no...

Sad turn of events, but not totally unexpected either. Hope Madame X is out there doing well...

Meanwhile...purple USFWS band is midwest. They've only relatively recently started using black/green bands. There are 14 with B/G *P/* (sideways P-in the black-band is upside down) from 2007 through 2012. Mostly Michigan with 3 Indiana & 2 Kentucky, all but one banded as female. I'd guess there are notes somewhere of a B/G band put on upside down in one of those places.

From the Hamilton archive. She's very dark. Reminds me a bit of Beauty.

I also saved a pic from the cam today of a bird with a black/green band. I was not happy to see that.

Midwest birds were banded black/green up to and including 2008. In 2009, they began using black/red.

I hope Madame X is okay.

What a horrible year this has been so far.

I do apologize-I should have researched my band color/years rather than relying on my memory.

The winds of change. I hope that Madame X is OK.

!!! 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. 

[Carol P.]

This is why I LOVE quiet and peaceful falcon watches.  Hope Jack is with O'Connor and is ok.  Happy that Lucky is ok too.  So many changes!

[Donna]

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

[patsy6]

Oh my goodness!

[Donna]

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.

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

DC's a changed man!!! I hope!
