On June 4, two peregrine falcon chicks were identified, banded and weighed by volunteers from the Canadian Peregrine Foundation and by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources at the Sheraton Hamilton hotel.

The two peregrine falcons, McMaster (728 grams/20 days old) and Barton (730 grams/18 days old) are both females.
