Knowing what is about to come, however, perhaps it is good that the adults have a little quiet time. If all goes well, sometime next week their lives will become very busy, with 24-hour a day feedings and/or watching. The image at left shows Surge with the eggs earlier this morning. The white line on the second egg from the right is not a crack. It appears to be a feather that has been blown there by the wind.</P></td></tr></table> <P>As in past years, Falconwatch is again showing live nest video in our Jackson Square Mall television monitor and information station. Our website will soon be available on a separate monitor in the window. It is located in the front aisle of the mall closest to King Street, on the James St. side of the Sheraton Hotel, between the Rogers cell phone sales booth and the stairway. Easiest access to the monitor is through the mall doors at 110 King St. West. </p> <P class="title"><B>THE WAITING GAME - NEWS ABOUT DURAND</B> <TABLE CELLSPACING=0 BORDER=0><TR><TD VALIGN="MIDDLE" align="right"> <script language="javascript"></script> <p>Thursday, May 9, 2013 - Madame X and Surge continue to take turns brooding the eggs, turning them regularly with their talons and beaks. In the image at left Madame X is giving the eggs a little air earlier this morning. The image at right shows Surge paying his mate a visit on Tuesday. If all goes well we should be seeing little white fluffballs in about 12-14 days.</P></td></tr></table> <P>After two unsuccessful seasons Durand, one of our 2009 fledges, has successfully hatched her first chick. Use the link on our History page to see the chick and get up-to-date news.</p> <B><P class="title">SETTLING IN FOR THE LONG HAUL</B> <TABLE CELLSPACING=0 BORDER=0><TR><TD VALIGN="MIDDLE" align="right"> <script language="javascript"></script> <p>May 5, 2013 - If there's a word for what our Peregrines experience from the time egg-laying ends until chicks hatch, it could easily be 'boredom'. It looks as though they just sit there all the time. All is not how it seems, however. Every morning, usually within half an hour of sunrise, Madame X comes off the eggs after her overnight shift and Surge takes over. X goes away for a bit to stretch her wings and legs, then comes back to the Sheraton area. After another hour or so, the two change places again. This goes on until dusk when, as far as we can tell, Madame X settles in again for the night. How do we tell which adult is which? Madame X, in the left photo, has a well speckled upper chest, while Surge's chest (right) is almost pure white. You can also see the difference in size between these two. Female raptors are always 25-35% larger than males. </p></td></tr></table> <B><P class="title">DOTING PARENTS</B> <TABLE CELLSPACING=0 BORDER=0><TR><TD VALIGN="MIDDLE" align="right"> <script language="javascript"></script> <p>May 2, 2013 - In the image at left, taken at 15:16 Monday, Surge (on the ledge) and Madame X seem to be either admiring the four eggs, or counting them, perhaps both. The two adults are taking regular turns on incubation duty, which not only involves keeping the eggs warm but also means turning them often to distribute the heat evenly. Mother Nature at her best!</p></td></tr></table> <B><P class="title">CATCHING UP ON THE NEWS</B> <TABLE CELLSPACING=0 BORDER=0><TR><TD VALIGN="MIDDLE" align="right"> <script language="javascript"></script> <p>April 29, 2013 - After a relatively quiet and somewhat warmer weekend Madame X and Surge seem to have settled in nicely to look after the four eggs. The fourth egg actually arrived last Thursday afternoon; the image at far left was taken at 18:00 that day. In the image at near left, taken at 06:12 this morning, Surge has just arrived and is standing above the eggs while Madame X prepares to get a little fresh air. If the fourth egg is the last - we hope - things may even get a bit boring for several weeks. Stay tuned!</p></td></tr></table> <P class="title">FOUR ON THE FLOOR!! <TABLE CELLSPACING=0 BORDER=0><TR><TD VALIGN="MIDDLE" align="right"> <script language="javascript"></script> <p>April 26, 2013 - Although Falconwatchers were pretty sure at 06:30 this morning that a fourth egg had been laid overnight, it took until 14:39 this afternoon to get the very clear image at left, which resulted from a shift change when Surge took over from Madame X. It's still a long road to successfully fledging chicks, so we will keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best. Stay tuned!</p></td></tr></table> <P class="title">PROUD MOMMA <TABLE CELLSPACING=0 BORDER=0><TR><TD VALIGN="MIDDLE" align="right"> <script language="javascript"></script> <p>April 24, 2013 - What do you think Madame X is saying to us in the image at left, taken at 11:46 yesterday. "Schedule, Shmedule" or "If you've got 'em, flaunt 'em" or "I'll do it my way" or, perhaps most likely, "You doubted me?" Whatever she is saying or thinking, there's no doubt that she's pretty happy with the way things have turned out so far. It's a long road to successfully fledging chicks, so we will keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best. Stay tuned!</p></td></tr></table> <P class="title">THREE!!!! <TABLE CELLSPACING=0 BORDER=0><TR><TD VALIGN="MIDDLE" align="right"> <script language="javascript"></script> <p>April 23, 2013 - The image at left was captured at 09:09 this morning. A picture is worth a thousand words so we don't really need to tell anyone that there are now THREE eggs in the nest. Things are positively looking up. Stay tuned!</p></td></tr></table> <P class="title">TWO EGGS!!!! <TABLE CELLSPACING=0 BORDER=0><TR><TD VALIGN="MIDDLE" align="right"> <script language="javascript"></script> <p>April 20, 2013 - At 9:55 this morning Madame X looked up at the camera and proudly showed two eggs. She quickly covered them up in the face of today's unusually cold temperatures and high winds. Both adults continue to take turns on incubation duty. Things are looking up. Stay tuned!.</p></td></tr></table> <P class="title">STILL JUST ONE EGG <TABLE CELLSPACING=0 BORDER=0><TR><TD VALIGN="MIDDLE" align="right"> <script language="javascript"></script> <p>April 19, 2013 - Madame X and Surge have made the scrape so deep this year that it is very hard to spot the egg, but the brown spot just below centre in the picture at left is it. As in previous years, both adults are taking turns on incubating duty. We continue to monitor the situation and hope to see a second egg soon.</p></td></tr></table> <P class="title">FIRST EGG OF 2013!!!!!!! <TABLE CELLSPACING=0 BORDER=0><TR><TD VALIGN="MIDDLE" align="right"> <script language="javascript"></script> <p>April 17, 2013 - Sometime between 10:30 and 10:55 this morning Madame X laid her first egg of the year!!!! The image at left, taken at 11:03, shows Madame X with the egg, which is about 4 inches/10 cm long.</p> <p>At 11:07 Surge visited Madame X at the nest ledge. Falconwatchers are hopeful that more eggs will follow and that all will go well. Stay tuned!</p></td></tr></table> <P class="title">WHAT'S HAPPENING AT THE NEST? <P>April 13, 2013 - Like all Hamilton Falconwatchers, HCPP Volunteers are disappointed that we haven't seen eggs in the scrape yet, even though we are past Madame X's usual egg laying date. We are not sure why - several factors may be involved.</P> <P>Timing - this can be variable. In 1995 the Sheraton Peregrines did not lay eggs until June.</P> <P>Weather - so far this spring we have not had as many warm periods as we usually have, but Madame X has laid and incubated eggs in colder temperatures than we have experienced in the last few weeks.</P> <P>Disturbance - there is a significant construction job underway across the street. While street and construction noise does not seem to disturb the Peregrines, on weekdays a large construction crane is active in the air near the nest site.</P> <P>Madame X's age - Few Peregrines in the wild live to be fourteen years of age, which Madame X will reach next month. While all normal pre-breeding activities - pairing up after the winter and resuming occupation of the nesting territory, preparation of the scrape, food offerings and mating - have been observed this spring, Madame X could be nearing the end of her breeding career. If this is the case, she might stay on her territory for one or more years, or she could be replaced at any time by a younger female.</P> <P>Where does this leave us? We - the Hamilton Falconwatch team and you - can only continue to wait, observe and hope. Only time will tell. Thanks very much for your ongoing interest and support.</P> <P class="title">I'M WATCHING YOU TOO!! <TABLE CELLSPACING=0 BORDER=0><TR><TD VALIGN="MIDDLE" align="right"> <script language="javascript"></script> <p>April 8, 2013 - With the warmer weather Madame X has been spending more time on and in the nest ledge. In the picture at left, taken at 10:30 today, she seems to have an "I'm watching you too!" look on her face. Surge is till staying close. He's on the nest ledge almost as often as Madame X. Stay tuned!</p></td></tr></table> <P class="title">BABY, IT'S COLD OUTSIDE! <TABLE CELLSPACING=0 BORDER=0><TR><TD VALIGN="MIDDLE"> <script language="javascript"></script> <p>April 4, 2013 - Still no action on the egg laying front, even though Madame X has spent the last two nights in the scrape. Although she has incubated eggs in temperatures such as we have had this week, this usually came after eggs were laid when things were a bit warmer. Perhaps she has decided it's too cold to start the process? We'll see. In the meantime Surge keeps close. The picture at left shows the pair at 06:50 yesterday, just after he brought her breakfast</p></td></tr></table> <P class="title">NO EASTER EGG (YET)! <TABLE CELLSPACING=0 BORDER=0><TR><TD VALIGN="MIDDLE"> <script language="javascript"></script> <p>April 1, 2013 - The adults have been back and forth to, in and out of the nest ledge on a fairly regular basis. No eggs so far, but there's still lots of time. The picture at left of a smart looking Madame X was taken this morning at 10:00.</p> <B><P>Please note: <P>a) As in past years, Falconwatch is again showing live nest video in our Jackson Square Mall television monitor and information station. It is located in the front aisle of the mall closest to King Street, on the James St. side of the Sheraton Hotel, between the Rogers cell phone sales booth and the stairway. Easiest access to the monitor is through the mall doors at 110 King St. West. Falconwatch would like to thank the Jackson Square Dental Office for once again sharing their booth with our monitor and information signs.</P> <P>b) A complete update of information known about chicks fledged in previous years from the Sheraton nest has just been posted on our History page (click on the button above right).</p></B></td></tr></table> <P class="title">ROOM (LEDGE?) SERVICE! <TABLE CELLSPACING=0 BORDER=0><TR><TD VALIGN="MIDDLE"> <script language="javascript"></script> <p>March 31, 2013 - The pair bond between Madame X and Surge has been quite evident this week. A nice example of this occurred at 17:03 yesterday when Surge landed on the west end of the nest ledge with what appeared to be a prepared meal, a portion of a prey item as opposed to a complete one. Whether Madame X had been sitting on the camera or flew in from the east to meet him is uncertain, but within seconds she landed on the ledge and went to get the food, resulting in the image at left. No eggs yet, but it should happen soon. Keep watching this page!</p></td></tr></table> <P class="title">GETTING CLOSE!! <TABLE CELLSPACING=0 BORDER=0><TR><TD VALIGN="MIDDLE"> <script language="javascript"></script> <p>March 26, 2013 - The photo at left shows Madame X and Surge together in the nest ledge at 10:09 today. In the last two days the pair have spent a lot of time in the nest and on the ledges. Based on our experience this kind of activity, and the fact that we are in the average time frame for laying of the first egg of the year, means that we are getting close. From now until we believe that all 2013 eggs have been laid one camera will be focused in tightly on the scrape. Stay tuned!!</p></td></tr></table> <P class="title">LOOKING GOOD!! <TABLE CELLSPACING=0 BORDER=0><TR><TD VALIGN="MIDDLE"> <script language="javascript"></script> <p>March 24, 2013 - The photo at left shows Madame X visiting the nest ledge a few days ago. Falconwatchers check close-ups such as this carefully to gauge the physical condition of the adults. As can be seen in the picture, from the sharp triangular "moustache" and streaking and evenly coloured blue-gray back, she appears to be in excellent health. We are fortunate that Madame X has returned for her thirteenth year and Surge for his eighth. (Where DO the years go?) Next step - eggs. Stay tuned.</p></td></tr></table> <P class="title">DIGGING IN <TABLE CELLSPACING=0 BORDER=0><TR><TD VALIGN="MIDDLE"> <script language="javascript"></script> <p>March 20, 2013 - Around 16:00 Monday Surge and Madame X took turns digging in the corner of the nest ledge, a clear sign that they are getting ready for eggs. The image at left shows Madame X almost disappearing in the scrape. Since 2005 the first egg has appeared as early as March 26 and as late as April 5, but most often around March 29. We are getting close!</p></td></tr></table> <P class="title">TOGETHERNESS!! <TABLE CELLSPACING=0 BORDER=0><TR><TD VALIGN="MIDDLE"> <script language="javascript"></script> <p>March 16, 2013 - As the normal end of March egg laying-time approaches, Falconwatchers look for signs that the adult birds are spending more time together. The image at left, taken March 13 at 09:14, shows Madame X and Surge sharing a meal on the Sheraton nest ledge. We often refer to the difference in size between female and male Peregrines, with females always being larger. Here Madame X, on the left, is clearly much bigger than Surge. The first egg of 2013 is expected within 10-14 days. Stay tuned!</p></td></tr></table> <P class="title">WON'T BE LONG NOW!! <TABLE CELLSPACING=0 BORDER=0><TR><TD VALIGN="MIDDLE" align="center"> <script language="javascript"></script> <p>March 6, 2013 - Our internet link was turned on last night and viewers are now seeing LIVE photos from the Sheraton Hamilton Peregrine Falcon nest. The composite photo at left was put together by Webmaster Charles as he was setting things up. At upper left you can see both Surge and Madame X in the nest ledge this morning at 06:40. At right is a great face-on shot of Surge. How do we know it's Surge? The lower left section of the photo shows his leg bands. We were able to read the numbers and confirm his identity. Falconwatch 2013 is getting under way!</p></td></tr></table> <P class="title">PEREGRINE DINES AT CAFETERIA! <TABLE CELLSPACING=0 BORDER=0><TR><TD VALIGN="MIDDLE" align="center"> <script language="javascript"></script> <p>February 6, 2013 - The photo at left was sent to us by Joanne Minogue, who spotted this Peregrine dining on a pigeon, just outside the cafeteria entrance of the Hamilton General Hospital. Based on the facial markings, the bird may be Surge, though there is also a chance that this is a falcon from the pair nesting on the Burlington lift bridge.</p> </td></tr></table> <P class="title">A NEW YEAR BEGINS!!!!!! <p>January 31, 2013 - It is still a few months until Madame X and Surge begin nesting atop the Sheraton Hamilton Hotel, but already we have reports of them defending their territory from incursions by other raptors. Positive identification of the birds will be made closer to nesting time, but for now we are presuming that we still have our old resident pair, Madame X, back for her thirteenth year, and Surge, back for his eighth season.</P> <P>In 2012 Madame X and Surge hatched three chicks, all boys - Beckett (682 grams), Felker (671 grams) and Tiffany, who weighed in at a trim 641 grams. All named for Hamilton waterfalls. All three birds flew strongly on their first flights, and quickly mastered the skies without need for any rescues. You can read more about their exploits in the History section.</P> <P>Last year was an exceptional one for webcam photos, with our first-ever live capture of the moment of first flight (for Beckett). The new camera installed in 2010 (funded by a generous grant from the TD-Canada Trust Friends of the Environment Fund) was used to maximum effect, resulting in some amazing close-ups, and photos of activities on nearby rooftops.</p> <P>Our FalconCams will be reactivated in early March (once again, with the generous support of Worldline/ Fibernetics), and we will be on the lookout for courting and nesting behaviour. We can expect to see eggs in late March or early April.</p> <P>Madame X was hatched on a bridge on Pennsylvania Route 309, the Cross-Valley Expressway in Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. Banded as a hatchling on 7 June 1999, she was known to the falcon watchers in Northeast PA as 'Runaround Sue', a name suggested after she was found running along the expressway guide wall one morning. We are keeping the folks in Pennsylvania posted on Madame X's progress. </p> <P>Hatched and banded in Etobicoke in 2002, Surge spent at least part of the 2004-2005 seasons trying to establish a nest at the Burlington Lift Bridge. In 2006 he replaced the male at the Sheraton nest and has been in Hamilton since.</p> <P>Many birds exhibit a trait called 'site fidelity'. If at least one of a pair that used a nest site in the previous year return, 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 over and over again, year after year. Peregrine Falcons are known for site fidelity. This will be the nineteenth year the same nest site on the Sheraton Hamilton Hotel has been used.</P> <P>To read FalconWatch Reports from previous years, click on the <B>History</B> button above.</P> <P>Thank you to all our visitors and supporters for your ongoing encouragement.</P> </BODY> </HTML> </font> <P ALIGN="CENTER"><CENTER><TABLE CELLSPACING="10" BORDER="0" WIDTH="90%"> <TR><TD VALIGN="MIDDLE" align="center"> <A HREF="http://www.hamiltonnature.org/" target="HNC_NEW_WINDOW"><IMG SRC="hamnatbutton.gif" BORDER=0 WIDTH=102 HEIGHT=79 ALT="Hamilton Naturalists' Club Home Page"></A></TD> <TD VALIGN="MIDDLE" align="center">                 <table width="87" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td colspan="3"> <a href="http://barton.hwcn.org/Utilities/counter.html" target="_top"><img src="http://falcons.hamiltonnature.org/hitcounter_images/hitsmtop.gif" height="5" width="87" border="0" alt="Lynx Hits: 0, HWCN PPP Hits: 0, Offsite Hits: 127713.
