SAD NEWS.... AND SOME COMFORT

Sunday, January 23, 2022 - We regret to announce that downtown Hamilton's resident female peregrine falcon, Lily, passed away this evening. It would seem that her dehydration and frostbite were more severe than they first appeared. This together with the injuries she sustained from some kind of collision were too much for her aging body. At 6:30 she passed away, despite the best efforts of the Owl Foundation (to whom we are extremely grateful).

But there is some comforting news to help offset this sadness.... This afternoon we captured this photo, of two adult peregrines on the Sheraton Hamilton nest ledge! We don't know if this implies that some of Lily's injuries were from a territorial battle, or if this new bird is just seizing the obvious opportunity to move in on a nesting territory with only one adult present. Judson appeared a little bit upset, but did not try to drive off the newcomer. So, despite the sadness, it looks like we will not have to worry about having a female for the coming nesting season. We will keep a close watch in the coming days, to see if we can identify the new bird.

Thankyou Loza , :7val: for your faithful following of this pair in off season. Because of this , I could back and see Lily. She was there on January 20 , which means she was not on ground long.

I have not much time to observe much but I do take time to see observations of others

Very grateful for BCATW

So sorry to hear about dear sweet Lily. She gave it her all. It seems the weather at the nest is very harsh and caused many issues. Maybe one day they could build a nest box to see if that could help .

Sunday, January 30, 2022 - We have finally been able to get enough photos of the leg band on our new female to be sure we have read it correctly! Hamilton Falconwatch officially welcomes McKeever to the Sheraton Hamilton nest! She comes to us from Windsor, Ontario, where she was hatched on the Ambassador Bridge in 2019. She is named in honor of Kay McKeever of the Owl Foundation.

The photo at left shows McKeever and Judson on the nest ledge, along with clppings from the various band photos that we used to make this identification. The right hand photo was taken by Paul Gosselin at McKeever's banding in 2019. I am sure that Kay will be pleased to hear that her namesake has taken up residence here in Hamilton!
