One of four baby falcons born at the Sheraton Hamilton Hotel last month has died.
According to the Hamilton Community Peregrine Project’s Falconwatch website, baby “Gage” died after taking his first flight on Monday.
Falconwatch coordinator Chelsea Decoster reports: At 6:24 a.m. Gage made his first flight, to the next ledge on the Sheraton, and around 10.45 a.m. he was seen to come down close to King Street at Summers Lane, where he was fatally struck by a car.
