<P class="title">BACKGROUND FOR 2025....
<p>After their third successful year together, fledging two chicks,
Judson and McKeever are spending the winter in Hamilton, where there is
ample food, and warm spots to shelter from the worst of the winter
weather. This will be McKeever's fourth year at the Hamilton nest, and
Judson's fifth.
<p class="endimageblock"></p>

// --></script>
<P>Judson arrived in Hamilton at the end of the nesting season in 2021.
He came to us from Buffalo, New York, where he fledged from the
Richardson Complex in 2018. 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 has returned. He arrived too late to
mate with Lily, who, sadly, fell ill and died early in 2022, so, apart
from a brief time keeping Lily company on the ledge, his first and only
mate has been....
<p class="endimageblock"></p>
<script language="javascript"><!--
capimage1('McKeever','webcamsaved2022/hn1128103457_1Thumb.jpg');
// --></script>
<p>McKeever, fledged from a nest on the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor,
Ontario, in 2019. She is named in honor of Kay McKeever of the Owl
Foundation. Her arrival was first noticed on January 22, 2022, when we
observed that there were still two adults landing at the nest ledge
while Lily (the previous female) was being cared for at the Owl
Foundation. A quick check of our webcam archives showed that McKeever
had been present for a few days by that point. We don't know if she had
a territorial battle with Lily which resulted in the latter being too
injured to survive, or whether Lily had taken ill and this newcomer had
simply filled in the void left by Lily's absence. In any event, McKeever
was quickly accepted by Judson, and the pair produced four chicks their
first year together, and four more in 2023. Last year, three chicks
hatched, but, sadly, one of them died from an unknown illness before
fledging. The remaining two chicks fledged strongly without any need for
rescues.
<P>2024 also saw a significant upgrade to Camera #2, with a new, Wisenet
HD Camera being donated by <b>Hanwha Vision</b>. The camera was
installed in February by Eric Luehmann of Hamilton Video & Sound. Major
funding for this work and additional equipment, was provided by a
Hamilton Ward 2 community grant, obtained through Councillor Cameron
Kroetsch. This camera significantly improved our ability to monitor the
fledglings as they flew from rooftop to rooftop. HCPP Thanks all these
organizations for their generous support!
<P>While peregrines are normally a migratory species, sometimes they
choose to spend the winter in their nesting territory if there is enough
food to last through the winter. Many bird species exhibit a trait
called 'site fidelity'. If at least one of a pair that used a nest site
in the previous year returns, and if there have been no significant
physical changes to disturb either the nest itself or the birds
generally, they will use the same nest site year after year. Peregrine
Falcons are known for this trait. This will be the <b>thirty-first</b> year
the same nest site on the Sheraton Hamilton Hotel has been used.</P>
