Hamilton


A peregrine on the Hamilton Ledge. Welcome to my blog dear falcon. Madame X and Surge are the resident peregrines overhere.
On th e10th of March Lead Monitor Audrey Gamble reports: This weekend's icy blast of wintery weather did not dissuade Madame X and her mate from visiting their nest site. On Saturday afternoon both adults were spotted on ledges adjacent to the nest ledge and at 3:30 PM Saturday Madame X was perched on the nest ledge despite the heavy snowfall and gusty winds. At 3:55 PM today both adults were in or on the nest ledge. Stay tuned.
We will! Absolutely.
Last year there where 4 eyases. Sadly 2 of them died from an infection. The remaining 2 where sick als well. Jump up managed without hospitalisation, but Blue Foot needed treatment. And had to spent 2 weeks in the hospital. Both juvi's however survived splendidly and fledged savely.
Blue Foot proved to be an excellent flyer!
