His dad would have been Bandit, who held the Columbus site from the early 1990s until 2003.

That makes sense...though the data base lists the Rhodes Tower resident male as unbanded...of course, if you follow Aurora's (his 1998 mate) trail, it backtracks and lists Bandit as the resident male in 1998, but still no band info.

No Rhodes Tower submitted info from 2001-2004. It picks up again in 2005 with Orville and Victory..that's as far as I have gotten...One day I'll try to find Juanita's geneology..its probably posted somewhere in our archives..

I have been piecing together info from different places about the history of the Rhodes Tower nest -- most of it from the archives of this site. Bandit was unbanded, but apparently his markings were distinctive enough that they were sure he was the same tiercel from 1993 until his death in 2003.

2001 - Katie and Bandit's last clutch together -- Alpha (mother of Scout), Patriot and Elvis.

2002 - Katie died in early 2002. Bandit spent time with two different females that spring, but neither produced eggs.

2003 - Bandit spent time with 1-year-old Victory, but no eggs were produced.

2004 - Orville and Victory's first year together, no eggs produced.

Your history lessons are so interesting to me about the Columbus site as I wasn't around in the early years. So thank you....

I just looked in on the nest (no one home) and then the blog and low and behold our faithful biologist, Donna has posted a blog and as always very interesting.........

http://ohioperegrinefalcons.blogspot.com/


Donna talks about molt in this blog in particular about the falcons who still fly during molt and also as a comparison the geese who actually are flightless during molt. This may explain why yesterday when I was driving along the creek looking for herons I spotted three long lines of geese just floating down the creek very peacefully....... so interesting to me that Donna mentioned it.

That is so wonderful about Hunter! Imagine -- 17 years old and a first time father! :15heartbeat: Bandit's legacy continues to grow.

Did you know that every chick that has hatched on the Rhodes Tower can trace their lineage back to Bandit? What an incredible falcon!

No, I haven't been able to go downtown to falcon watch. Parking is an issue, and I am unable to walk very far.

I, too, worried about the falcons last night during Red, White and Boom. The fireworks were set off over the river and Rhodes Tower is a few blocks away. The Huntington Building and Riffe Center are just one block away so if any falcons were roosting there last night, I'm sure they thought the sky was falling!

Here's a picture of the finale:
