So there will be no hatches here this year, the nest has failed.  Last week a new male showed up on the ledge a few days before the eggs were due to hatch but I think the nest failed before he came on the scene as Ossie had given up on incubating them and that's consistent with past behavior when their nest failed.

The new male is the son of Felker, who was born at this nest site in 2012 and has been nesting in Buffalo.  So the grandson of Madame X and Surge has come to his grand parents site.  His name is Judson and he was born in 2018.

He was quite on guard and spent a lot of time resting and showed no interest in nesting and/or mating with Lily.  There were reports of a pair seen outside the territory before he came on so possible he was travelling with a female.  Also another single falcon was seen nearby as well so he spent most of his time patrolling and resting.  Lily has spent less and less time on the nest and is warming up to Judson and when she's not on the eggs, they take off together for long periods.  She's 11 years old this year and he's coming up on 3 years old. 

There has been no sighting of Ossie since then, hopefully he made it out safely.

The two kids were banded over the weekend  :-*  :-*

From CPF FB:

CPF volunteers Anne Yagi and Mark Nash banded 2 healthy chicks at the Hamilton Sheraton Hotel today. Thanks to the Hotel for letting us in and the Hamilton Peregrine Project team for getting everything set up and ready for us. Our long time volunteer climber John Miller again did the extraction of the chicks and everyone were very appreciative of his bravery and expertise.

There was one female and one male their names and band information is listed below. The names were given by the Hamilton Community Peregrine Project

Male-named Griffin weighed 517 grams at 18 days old his Canadian black band is 15 over W
Female- named Whitehern weighed 720 grams at 19 days old her Canadian black number is Z47

Still only 2 here as well but that's okay, 2 healthy babies is better than none  :)
