Thanks, Alison. Zeus is a popular name!

Orville's chicks with his first mate Victory were Sonic (P/07) and Shadow (P/08) in 2005. In 2006 they had four babies, Tempest (K/84), Thunderbolt (K/85), Velocity (K/86) and Zeus (B/03). Velocity sustained serious injuries and spent a long time in rehab before being released. I have not heard anything about sightings of the others, but that does not mean some of them don't have nests somewhere.
With his second mate Scout, Orville had four chicks last year: Justice (S/47), Mistic (S/73), Columbus (C/65) and Boomer (C/66). Since they are only a year old, it is unlikely that any of them would have nested this year.
This year they had four chicks once again: Aerial (65/H), Jet (66/H), Eclipse (67/H) and Apollo (50/A). Apollo died in a freak accident on June 9.
Alison:
Orville (band black/green 12/P) was the son of Mercury (all black band 21X) and his mate Snowball (band black/green 3/*B, the former resident pair at the AT&T Building in Dayton, Ohio.
The Peregrine Chick:
Orville had speckles just like Princess' ... going to have to check her family tree again when I have some time ...
