Interesting band - same type as Trey's and other of our birds banded in the 1990s.
I'm assuming he's an eastern Ontario bird - do we know from where he hails?

He is from our William Osler site in Etobicoke. They used an older leftover band for him, found in a drawer at MNR somewhere..lol! Ossie was born in 2012 so not so old ;)

There have been no sightings of Madame X, we hope she has just left the area.
They certainly were very special peregrines and we will miss them. Hopefully, this year will see Ossie and Lily raise some healthy chicks and they all fledge successfully.

Another daughter of Madame X's and Surge, Pigott, is the resident female in Syracuse.

Madame X and Surge were, and are, very special to me too. Do you know if there have been any sightings of Madame X?
I had fully intended to include Pigott in my partial list of Madame X and Surge's offspring. In fact, I had been watching her at her new nest, and then I forgot to add her. :-[
And of course there are all the grandchildren and great-grandchildren. For instance, Gleig in Buffalo's daughter, Alfrieda, raised chicks of her own last year. Durand in Columbus has raised four chicks so far (and she laid her first egg of this year yesterday). When Peter was very young and in his first year at the Hearn Plant, he raised three chicks on his own after his mate was injured and taken to rehab. Pigott raised her first two chicks last year.
