Sampson isn't in the picture anymore he had an accident and is in rehab I believe Greg said this is the information I got from him when I emailed him

Re. the image you sent, I believe this male is actually 54/M. See attached image taken on March 5. If this is indeed 54/M, his name is "Hoffmann" & I banded him as a nestling at the Edgewater Generating Station in Sheboygan in 2003. He paired with an unbanded adult female at the MMSD site in Milwaukee in 2008 producing 2 young. On April 16 last year I identified Hoffmann again at MMSD but no nesting took place. It's only a short flight from the MMSD site to the EMS site!

No recent news re. Samson

Is this where you mean Allison?

2010 NESTING SEASON

Three are four beautiful eggs being incubated in this nest. Where I am at the moment, I can't save pics, which is really frustrating.

When I checked the cam today I noticed that the chicks had been banded (bands visible in the third pic). There are a few banding pics on the photo page. The chicks were banded yesterday.

Adult female looks unbanded, male has at least a black band, can't tell if it is maybe black and green.

The male's band is black/green, E/43. He is Samson, born in 2007 at the Firstar Center, Milwaukee, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. His parents are not identified, but both have black/green bands.

I found this pic on the site:
