Another in the M&K line:

From Friends of CPF:

Exciting news! KAI, 2024 hatch at William Osler /Etobicoke General has been spotted in Buffalo NY!! Banded C/53, he was just the tiniest little guy (but very fiesty) and is the son of KODA-IDESTA and BIRCH. KODA is from Buffalo, so her son is making that his home. He has found a lovely nest site, which has a camera but it is private. But our friends at Peregrine Place do report on that site, so we will watch for updates and share them here.

Way to go KAI!

That's awesome news Carly! I've lost track of all these M&K kids. lol
How is Kai related to Rhea Mae and Tiago. Through Stormin?

Through Ralphie who was at Statler with Alice.  Koda is their daughter and Kai's mother.  So Rhea Mae and Tiago are his great-grandparents as Ralphie was their son.

Edited to add the 'great' so M&K would be 'great-great'.  So many to keep track of in that line.

It's a girl! 

From Peregrine Place:

In a strange turn of events, the new Corpus Christi nest now has one egg. A new Canadian banded peregrine showed up recently at the nest site & was courting with an unbanded peregrine. It was identified by the Canadian Peregrine Foundation as a male, C/53, Kai, hatched at Etobicoke General in 2024. The mother is from Buffalo Statler, grandparents Ralphie & Alice. Great great descendant of Rochester Mariah & Kaver. An egg was recently laid at CC but by Kai & not the Noba! So Kai is a female, not male as originally banded. Strange things happen every year with Peregrines. Welcome Kai!

That is eggcellent news and yet another Eggatha Christie Mystery! lol

We've had that happen more than once here. Sabrina was banded as a female and we later found out she was a he, when his mate laid eggs in their nest. So Sabrina became Valiant.

Kai no guy.

Wasn't sure where to put this, but since Koda is from TM and Tiago line .... I picked here.  If it's not correct I can move it.

From our friends of CPF FB site:

News from Mississauga Condo:  Resident Female identified!!!!!

She's STORMY (40/AB) hatched in 2024 at William Osler Hospital in Etobicoke!  Thank you to Rene for this gorgeous photo of STORMY!

Her sisters are RIO (38/AB - sadly, she died from injuries a few months later), OREO (39/AB) and KAI (C/53).  KAI has her own special story.  She was banded as a male, because she was so small. However, all that changed when our friends at Peregrine Place informed us that KAI laid 4 eggs!  She and her unbanded mate, CLARK KENT, have set up house at the Corpus Christi site in Buffalo!

You may remember our post from last fall where STORMY was picked up by TWC very close to MEC.  She got into an altercation with another peregrine (we assumed it was MIDNIGHT, the female at MEC at the time, but we didn't know for sure).  Thank goodness she was released after 3 weeks -and- far away from MEC.  Hopefully, she would stay away.  Little did we know that she would appear at another site not that far north of MEC!  STORMY is a Toronto girl for sure.  She was spotted in the east end at Tommy Thompson Park and the west end at Colonel Sam Smith Park.

STORMY and her sisters have a famous lineage.  They are the daughters of KODA-IDESTA and BIRCH.  Grandparents are RALPHIE and ALICE, great grandparents are Rhea Mae and Tiago and great great grandparents are Mariah and Kaver.  TIAGO is the son of WINDWHISTLER and MANDY!   And now the lineage will continue with SABLE and NADIA.

Now that we know who mom is, we can't wait to find who our banded dad is!  Stay tuned!  Cheers, Lucie

And just to add - at this new nest site; 2 females came to ground and were banded as follows before being put back at the site:

NADIA, female, 845g, banded H/39, red tape
SABLE, female, 934g, banded H/40, blue tape

They saw a third juvie there but he/she was up high so at least we have bands on 2 of Stormy's offspring.

Wonderful news! I'll be busy this off-season updating the family tree!
