I told Midnight I would be checking her nest at 5:33, and she obliged by standing up to show off her 4 beautiful eggs!

She is off them now- 4 beautiful eggs…

I think at one time someone ( on Facebook) thought this nest had lost an egg. Nope Midnight just showed me that she still has 4 eggs nestled in her nest.

Banding Day and Midnight knows something is up. She has been moving up and down in the box, and ay one point her shadow showed a wide open beak alarm calling. She is currently standind near her chicks, guarding them ... :biggrin:

Say hello to the Mississauga Welcome Wagon! Misdnifht has planted herself on the ledge and is yelling! Off the ledge, out of sight, I assume she is dive bombing the intruders...Back to the nest box, more yelling...The chicks havent moved. One chick is moving to a corner.. people must be close... One chick is moving back and forth....Mom is out on the ledge, yelling. I wonder if Renegade is harrassing the people too.

Tsusan · **Posted:** Tue May 17, 2022 11:33 am

Midnight is backed into the nest box..Guarding her chicks. They are using a net ro pin her in a corner... One more chick.. Here comes the net...Mom is screaming her head off. There goes the second chick...Midnight is still in the box... yelling. And still yelling...People are still there ( saw a face)

Tsusan · **Posted:** Tue May 17, 2022 12:09 pm

Midnight is waiting- and pretty much screaming the whole time, bless her heart....seems like she is looking at someone... Nudging her back with the net again- she is trying to bite it..."Where's my kids!" Gee- where Are her kids?? Oh- I peek behind Midnight and there is a chick, hopefully 2. Mom still standing there next to the chicks... now she charged over near the cam- Ive never seen her this close before.
She is a beautiful girl. I just noticed something…Midnight’s bands are 98/E Black red, and her sister Moxie’s bands are 99/E black red. ( yes, I know, something only an “auntie” would notice…:flirty:

Thanks for the coverage, TSusan!!

Here's the info from the Canadian Peregrine Foundation FB page. (I'm not sure why they are calling her Erin, when they named her Midnight at banding?! :girlcrazy:

)

FYI~one of the chicks has RED tape...but, not sure which one.

Tsusan · **Posted:** Wed May 18, 2022 3:32 pm

Thank you for posting this information and the video! I was puzzled when they called her Erin as well, and asked about it in a post. Maybe they didn’t like the name “Midnight” and changed it? Dori, inPittsburg was actually banded “Mary Cleo”, but the powers that be changed it to Dori….
EDIT On Facebook Kathy Majich told me it was just a slip of the tongue when Marion Nash called Midnight “Erin”. Her name is still Midnight. Still I thought it was quite an honor to be equated with the legendary Erin, from King St. :loveheart:

Tsusan · **Posted:** Mon May 23, 2022 8:53 pm

Something I noticed from the video, toward the end someone was holding the chick with the C/25 band, and then in the next image the band was covered with red tape….( And I have confirmed with CPF that C/25 Ishaq has red tape
