Yes this is his first nesting - he hatched in 2009 in Grand Forks. His full sib & nest mate is Alice who was in Wpg in 2010 and Brandon in 2011). First report on him after he fledged (so far as we know) was in West Winnipeg in the spring of 2010, then again in 2012 and then at the Radisson in 2013, then HSC when Ivy booted him out and then south of the Radisson territory when Cowboy kicked him out of the Logan territory. Now he's back and he's hit the lottery, an experienced female and the top spot in Winnipeg.

Will miss Ivy this year - (hope he's ok!!) - but it's nice to have a new birdie to get to know. Princess will train him well I'm sure. I'm just SO glad they're in the West Nest - shelter from the howling winds and rains - Phew!! ;D
TPC, is this Smiley's first time being a 'Dad' ? - How old is he?
Saoirse:
Without actually diagramming Smiley's ancestry, I'm guessing that his relationship to Trey is distant enough that he is actually bringing new blood to Princess's offspring. It'll be interesting to see how he differs from Ivy.

Actually, this is Smiley's second shot with this strategy - though he failed last year, he was in the right place with a very receptive female with Joli until Cowboy came back. And he's in good company ... Trey did exactly the same thing and look how well that turned out! And Screech out in Brandon was another right time, right place male - he happened to be around when Zeus took one of his sabbatical years and the result was - Brooklyn! Another good result. Sometimes the sneaky (aka patient) peregrine begats a dynasty.
