BirdLover:
Thanks for that info TPC.  I didn't know the meaning of hack either, but knew about the feeding thing.

I quickly stopped by the downtown on my way home and once again, all we have is one kid on duty.  It was Fate sitting on the northeast corner of the Scotia Bank building.   Could tell by the bright white tape on the leg.  I am going back later this evening to see if I can see whether they are coming back and where they are roosting at night.

Will let you know what I find.

I am keeping some of those posts of yours in a separate folder as they are wonderful to look back over but sometimes I have trouble finding them in amongst all the postings. ;)

Rose:
thank you TPC, I had sort of an idea what a hack site was but didn't know for sure, now I know.As to the chicks we usually knew Fate because we could see the white tape and Luck was noticably bigger,never saw her green tape,the other two were so much alike and for the first few days were always together so we called them the twins and they didn't show us a leg either!!

The Peregrine Chick:
As BL said, we have three females and 1 male in Brandon this year.  Their names are: Fate (male), Luck (largest female & band number 13/X) and Kismet and Karma.  Now when we measured Kismet's & Karma's feet they measured as small female/large male.  Given that Hurricane's feet measured likewise in 2007 and we banded her as a male, we decided to err on the side of caution - particularly since they were closer to Luck in body size than Fate.  The only way to be sure we have the genders correct now is to wait and see if either/both turn up on nestsites in a couple of years like their Mom!
