You know, I've been watching the Sheraton all day...I knew she had to have another egg under there...but I was aggravated with the bright light, so I shut it off.  Then I read Carol's post & decided to try again...opened it up to Tiago on the eggs & Rhea Mae arriving on the other end of the ledge...next frame was this one!

Just spotted this over on the CPF site

!!! 3 EGGS!
March 28, 2010 - Toronto - Sheraton Centre
Linda Woods Reports:

An extended visit to the Sheraton nest ledge confirmed the band numbers of the adults, Black on Black, 29 over H, for Tiago and  Black on Red, P over T, for Rhea Mae.

And long after my camera battery gave out on the “stand-by� mode, Tiago finally moved off the eggs to reveal 3 eggs. Rhea Mae was quick to return to her time incubating. Tiago didn’t waste anytime leaving the nest ledge. Just like his dad.

Observation for Toronto - Sheraton Centre

Does anyone here know Tiago's ancestry?  It seems he's a local by Linda's comment.

Is there a site out there where I could enter band colors and numbers to help identify falcons, or any other banded bird?  Just asking.  Thanks!!

Ei-I found this on the Kfalconcam site-

On August 16th, I was able to finally be at the right place at the
right time and see the leg bands on this female that has been
fraternizing with Tiago. Perhaps, Tiago is just following in his
father's footsteps ( Windwhistler) and she has followed. With the
assistance of fellow peregrine lover across the border together we
were able to ID this female peregrine. Her name is RHEA MAE and she is
a 2006 Hatch from Rochester, New York.

Then I found this:

Windwhistler and Mandy, a male and female peregrine falcon couple, have been residents at 18 King since 2002, says longtime CPF volunteer Linda
Woods.
There is a particularly urgent need for a webcam at the moment, as Windwhistler and Mandy have reached a pivotal moment in their relationship. Windwhistler has been straying to
a girlfriend, Wind, who has a nest at the Sheraton Hotel at Queen and University. Woods says CPF volunteers hope to use the webcams to keep a close eye on the peregrines’ activities in order to find out if and at what nest a successful incubation has occurred.

And wasn't Tiago with Wind before Rhea Mae?  Hmmmm...

Tiago took over his father's site - he was born at the King street site.  I think his mother was Mandy but I'll have to look it up as I'm not 100% going on middle aged memory alone!.  His dad of course was the famous Windwhistler - the bigamous male that ran both King and Sheraton sites simultaneously.  

Windwhistler was born at my site in Etobicoke at the now Sun Life building.  His mother was Alberta and father was Toby.  Alberta was born at the Wainright breeding centre in Alberta (hence the name) and was brought to Hamilton as a foster chick for release.  That's as much as I can remember without looking it up..lol!

Thanks Kris & Carly!  I don't know why I didn't remember that...I remembered all about 2-timing Windwhistler, but not that Tiago was his son...hope he doesn't take up that habit too!

Jack in Canada is a two-timer also. How do they keep up?
