New Male has been spotted on the second ledge. Concern that Ossie has been displaced.

NEW ADULT!

Saturday, May 8, 2021 - With mere days or even hours to go before Hamilton chicks hatch, a new adult peregrine has appeared on the Sheraton Hamilton. Shortly after 9am, while Lily was brooding her eggs, this adult landed on the second ledge, and appeared to settle in, with no apparent reaction from Lily. It took us a few minutes to get a good shot of the bands. The process of identifying this bird has begun.

Afternoon update:
We have now identified this bird as a male named Judson, fledged in 2018 from the Richardson Complex in Buffalo, New York. And in a delightful turn of events, one of his parents is Felker who fledged from Hamilton in 2012! So the prodigal (grand)son of Madame X and Surge returns!

Later on in the day, Judson landed on the main nest ledge once, again without too much reaction from Lily. From this, we deduce that Ossie may have lost a territorial battle and been driven off. Always a bit sad to see one of our falcons go, but this is the way of nature. Lily will soon adjust to this new situation, and hopefully by the time the chicks are little eating machines, Judson will be hunting for them, just as Ossie would have.

someone on Fb posted yesterday that new male was on spot where Lily likes to perch, there was another falcon perched not far away and Lily was at ledge. They noted, Ossie????

this was posted 21 hours ago.

Update from the field: Lily is in the nest, the newcomer appears to be perched on Lily's favorite spot on Homewood, and there is another adult peregrine on top of the BDC building. Too high to see bands. Might be Ossie, or?

13.38 - 15.44 Lily leaves the nest, waits for Judson on the landing. He shows up. She bows.

Together they fly and they come back He goes to the next nest, he makes holes, I think.

She flies and he follows her

05/10 During the night it was impossible to see if Lily was in the nest.

In the morning she was gone. Judson flew away for a while,

then arrived Lily a moment later she was in the nest when he flew to his spot, there were bows,

she took care of the incubation Judson flew away
