DOUBLE DOSE OF GOOD NEWS - FIRST 2009 CHICK & WEBSTER REPORT!
May 6, 2009 - The long wait IS over for Madame X and Surge. At 09:01 today the first young Peregrine of 2009 made its appearance in the Sheraton Hamilton nest. The image at left shows the chick clearly. The white material at its left is believed to be the inner lining of the shell of the egg from which it hatched. While we were digesting this news from the Sheraton we received word that Webster, one of the 2006 Hamilton Peregrines, has been identified as the female of a pair nesting on a bridge in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. What makes this news even more interesting is that her sister, Albion, has nested on a bridge in Pennsylvania for the last two years. Stay tuned! Three more chicks to come, we hope! Perhaps more news of birds from previous years. OMG it wont be long before they are teetering on the edge of the Sheraton Ledge!

THREE CHICKS!!!
May 7, 2009 (Part 2) - Around 11:15AM this morning the third chick of 2009 made its appearance. It was funny to watch Madame X a few minutes later as she tried to tuck all three of them - and the last egg - underneath her body so she could keep them warm. Surge came in with food not long after and one of the chicks was quite insistent that he/she get some. The image at left was taken a few hours later, at 16:13. Here we go again! Stay tuned! One more chick to come, possibly today at the rate they have been hatching. One more to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! then the fun begins!

You know Chico it is kind of sad because you know that another animal has died but Surge is a great provider. He is steady bringing in food for his gang! You can always tell when they have had a good feed because they have a Crop and the front below their neck and it buldges out when they have a full tummy!

Update from the site
May 10, 2009 The technical wonders wrought by our webmaster, Charles, make it possible for us to see thousands of images at 10 second intervals. This is a good thing - except when we are trying to figure out exactly how many chicks are in the nest ledge! After two days of white fluff balls and parts of brown eggshells coming and going underneath the adults it appears, unless there's a fourth chick well hidden under the overhang at right, that Madame X and Surge will have just three chicks to raise this year. The image at left, taken at 05:55 today, shows the small but noticeable size differences between the three youngsters. It looks like the oldest (and largest) one, at right, has placed a protective wing over the smallest one, in the centre. Stay tuned - even if there are only three they will be a handful!

Winston thank's! They are just so very beautiful
My Crows today got something out of the Black-Birds nest and although it's sad,I don't love my Crows any less,it's the way of nature. It's different if some human decides to"cull"any wild-life,that's not what Mother Nature intended.

offical update!
IT'S A GO - ONE MO! May 13, 2009 - After last weekend, anyone who thought that falconwatching is always an exact science knows better. "Four? No three. Well maybe four. Are you sure? No." The question was settled yesterday afternoon when a telescope view from the Stelco Tower showed four separate chicks. The image at left, taken at 05:50 this morning, clearly shows them. As they get bigger it will be easier, of course - unless they are hiding under the overhang or in the corner nearest the camera, that is. Madame X and Surge have been busy bringing food and sharing it out among the youngsters. The fun has just begun! There growing by the minute!

Aw, heck...you saw that days ago, Winston!
They sure do grow quickly! I'm looking forward to shots of them standing on the ledge exercising their wings!  So have they tracked many of the young falcons that get fledged from this site?

Hi Hazel...yes quite a few . We found out this year that Webster and Albion both sisters are alive and well. Albion is in Philidelphia and the other female from the same clutch is Webster and she is in Pawtucket Rhode Island.
We have another one named Stelco (after the Stelco here in Hamilton) who has been in Lansing Michigan for many years. I wish the CPF could afford to place a transmitter on the occasional Canadian Bird because it proves to be really useful info. I follow another site that follows peregrines on their migration journeys via a satelite transmitter and it is awesome to follow!
