The Hamilton Community Peregrine Project, managed by the Hamilton Naturalists' Club, is pleased to announce the arrival on Mother's Day of a young Peregrine Falcon chick in the nest on ledge atop the window structure of the Sheraton Hamilton Hotel. A second chick may have been born yesterday. The nest has been occupied annually since 1995, with 21 chicks (18 natural, 3 foster) fledged successfully.
Live webcam pictures can be found at: www.hamiltonnature.org/hamfalcam.html Live TV pictures can be viewed on a monitor in the Jayset store on the King St. side of the Jackson Square Shopping Centre. The chicks will be most active and visible from the street around the first week of June as they learn to fly and then fledge. At that time HCPP carries out a dawn to dusk volunteer monitoring prgoram in case any of the chicks gets into trouble. Anyone interested in volunteering for this worthwhile project can contact me at the address above/below.
