Thank you to Hanny over at BCAW for catching this great photo yesterday of Madame X and Surge’s 4 eggs!!!
Congratulations on Egg 3!! Captured by Beth over at BCAW at 9:03 am this morning!
It’s been hard to get a glimpse under the falcons due to the change from warm to cold winter like weather the past 12 hours or so but Joyce at Rfalcon and Hanny at BCAW both managed to capture her with her 2 eggs!
It’s wonderful to see Madame X at 14 years of age still going strong.
Thanks to Hanny over at BCAW who alerted us to Madame X and Surge’s first egg, laid shortly before 11:00 am today and she got this great view of Madame and her egg at 11:02!

It might appear that Madame-X (and her mate Surge) are finally getting much closer to producing their first egg at the Hamilton Sheraton Hotel!
Reports streaming in would suggest that she is remained much closer to her scrape and nest bowl and that would suggest that she is egg bound.
Stay tuned for updated news……
Hamilton Sheraton hatch Gleig is doing well and her chicks are thriving in Buffalo NY. Thanks for the update Sage and Joyce.

Alfreda and Wagner demonstrated their flying skills today, circling, soaring and flying north out past Memorial Drive. They are doing so well since their early fledge days!

Joyce just reported seeing both A&W, Gleig still on nestbox perch and dad, who brought food in for kakking kids.
As reported earlier this spring, a female Peregrine named Gleig, hatched in 2009 at the Hamilton Sheraton Hotel has nested in Buffalo NY. Gleig has had 2 chicks. They were banded on June 23rd in Buffalo at the Central Terminal nest. The chicks were both female and named Wagner and Alfreda respectively.
The excellent photos from Vicki are of the nest building, both adults and one of the young. This is great news, as this adds to the legacy of Madame X and Surge.
We appologize for the delay in posting, all available CPF staff have been busy in the field.

Hamilton Sheraton Hotel Banding - May 31st - 9AM
For weeks now there has been a sub-adult female hanging around in Rochester, New York looking to nest on a building on Brighton Street not far from the territory held by Beauty. The ladies in Rochester have had a tumultuous year to say the least with Beauty being injured and off to rehab, then Unity taking over her nest box with Archer, then Archer looked injured but stayed high and then disappearing. Along comes Dot.ca from Etobicoke Sun Life nest site and pairs with Unity who is sadly hit by a car and doesn’t survive. Beauty was released from rehab and returned to her nest box to find Dot.ca who is now trying to run her out of town and at the same time mating with a sub-adult on Brighton Street. Phew!!
With all things now stabilized, Beauty and Dot.ca have paired and mated but he has continued to mate with the other sub-adult female. Just like his dad Jack!! The Rochester ladies, now that they have had a calm moment, set their sights on identifying this new female and with photos taken just recently, the solid black recovery band marked 43 over X could be seen and coupled with the red and green tape on her USFW band that match our records, we can now introduce you to Pigott as the mystery lady on Brighton Street. Pigott and Dot.ca continue to be seen together and it is unsure whether they will produce any young this year but it does look like she’s there to stay. Congratulations Madame X and Surge and of course the Rochester Gang!!Â
A big thanks must go out to Joyce, Carol, Mak, Dana, and Kathy for all of their incredible tenacity and work to get the band number on Pigott. You ladies are awesome!! Photos to come!!
