So I did some reading back in this thread.  "Arcadia's Dad is Lewis, born in 2003 at the Fargo nest, banded black/green 76/P. Lewis's Dad was the legendary Dakota Ace, banded black/red *H/D. His Mom was Frieda, born at the Alma, Wisconsin nest in 2001, banded black/green 24/A."  I didn't know she was out of Dakota Ace.  I used to watch him at Fargo when they had the cam!!

Speaking of Dakota Ace, here is a good history of the peregrines at Fargo and Dakota Ace. https://dakota.audubon.org/fargo-falcons-bank-west

Jackie, do you know what if anything has happened to the 2nd chick?
I'm sure I'm just worrying for no reason, but sure would like to know.

No I don't.  I was notified late the day it died, but had already gone north to band chicks.  I was in contact with the DNR, and she notified me that the chick appeared to be having seizures, but that once I had someone retrieve the carcass, that it could be disposed of without a necropsy. 

Who are the initials {Info that SGB got was Trichomonas got the baby.  Surviving one seems to be doing fine.} that mention that they heard the bird had trich?  To my knowledge, the bird was never examined by a pathologist/vet.

As at the Multifoods site, we also have confirmed occupancy by a new tiercel.  This year's male is TommyHawk b/g H/33, a 13 year old male that had previously been found on territory at Cargill plant, Savage, MN.  He is paired with Arcadia b/r B/05, a nine year old female who has nested here since 2016.  The camera is also live and can be followed at https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/features/webcams/falconcam/index.html

First egg was laid last night, confirmed early this morning.  The 2022 season is in full gear and looks very promising.
