Smiley is from Grand Forks, he hatched there in 2009, he had two sisters, Ethel and Alice - Alice has visited Winnipeg and nested unsuccessfully one year in Brandon. Smiley's parents are Terminator and Roosevelt.

Holly nested in Brandon for years and is the current Brandon male, Brooklyn's mum.
Terminator is also one of Holly's kids but older. Terminator's dad was Zeus and her grandfather was Mufasa who was a captive-bred bird released in Brandon back in the early 1990s. Terminator's mother was Phoebe who was from the Radisson - her parents were Pop and Maud, the first peregrines to nest in Manitoba after the recovery program began. One of Phoebe's brothers was T-Rex - remember that name, because here's where there is a connection to Hart.
Smiley first turned up in the West Winnipeg territory in 2010, then again in 2012 and in 2013 he was dating Jolicoeur (I've mentioned her) before her mate Cowboy turned up. I should mention that Cowboy is a brother of Zeus, so that makes him Smiley's great-uncle. After he lost Joli to Cowboy, Smiley spent the rest of last summer hanging out just outside the Radisson territory - he'd missed the nesting season, so no real reason to head off anywhere else and so long as he didn't get too close to the Radisson, Ivy and Princess wouldn't be bothered too much. Now it looks like he will be the new Radisson male since it looks like Ivy may not come home this year.
Oh, and Smiley got his name from where he was hatched in Grand Forks. Terminator and Roosevelt used to nest on a water tower that had a huge smiley face painted on it. The tower was suppose to be torn down in 2009, but because the peregrines were nesting there, they left it up until after the chicks had fledged (taken their first flights). And he was name Smiley in honour of the water tower.
