Here is more information on these secretive peregrines in Mississauga. the resident female was injured by another female peregrine and is in rehab.
Janet the last surviving juvie made a few big flights today, keeping her altitude and going long distance both. She made it back to the nest building eventually.

It has been both tragic and fascinating to see this story unfold. It has become quite obvious now as we review all of our fledge watch notes and connect the dots as they say, that this rough adult banded female has been responsible for the premature fledgling and death of the other two much younger siblings produced at this nest site - (named Jennifer & Skyreach), in addition to the injury of the resident adult female mother as they battled for the territory.

Neat story! Thanks.
bcbird:
Interesting article about the secretive falcons.
I also liked the description of the banding day for a different nest.
"While the peregrine parents were distracted, the chicks were removed from the nest, taken on an elevator ride down to the lobby of the office building, and banded. They were then returned to the nest."
Pity the person on distraction duty!

The Peregrine Chick:
During our travels today, we came across one bird on the Buhler sign in the rain this morning and my size it looked like Joli. We cambe back later and both Joli and Cowboy were on the sign - we got a peak at Cowboy's band and saw Joli's purple FWS band (we use silver) but not her coloured band but it couldn't have been anyone else. We also buzzed by all the spots this pair likes and couldn't see any sign of a late nest, so it looks like Cowboy isn't a daddy yet but not his fault, Joli is a 2010 hatch, so still a bit young.
If they both come back this next year, she will definitely be a good age for a first nest. And we do have plans for a couple new nestboxes around town for next year so perhaps they will choose a box even though it won't be at HSC. If they do stick with HSC we'll see what we can do - there are a couple of places that could work in a pinch.
