A WARM WELCOME FOR THE THREE AMIGOS!


Thursday, May 31, 2012 evening - As just about everyone knows by now, our chicks were banded today. We have three boys - Beckett (682 grams), Felker (671 grams) and Tiffany, who weighed in at a trim 641 grams. At 27 days of age for one and 26 days for the other two, all had nice solid banding weights and appeared to be in very good health. Climber Bryan Thomas, shown at left getting one of the youngsters ready for the trip up, had several close calls as Madame X defended her territory as strongly as ever. The chicks were quite calm during the weighing and banding process.

As we did in 2006, this year's chicks were named after more of Hamilton's waterfalls. Lower Beckett Falls, named after the Beckett Family who owned the surrounding lands in the early 1900s, is a 'Ribbon Cascade and Falls' whose water flows under Beckett Drive on the escarpment just east of St. Joseph's Hospital. Its flow is prominent during rainfalls and the winter snow melt. Felker's Falls, located in eastern Hamilton on Davis Creek, a branch of Red Hill Creek, is a 'Terraced Ribbon Falls' on land formerly owned by Joseph Benjamin Felker, who was born and lived his entire life on that property. Tiffany Falls, located in the Tiffany Falls Conservation Area in Ancaster, is a 'Cascade Waterfall' fed by Tiffany Creek. All three were named after Dr. Oliver Tiffany, the district's first doctor, who came to Ancaster Township in 1796 and served the population of the village and area for forty years.
