Peace-up (WP) and Kiskasit (ZK) were the two surviving chicks of 2019. Peace-up, the eldest, was quieter than his sister and fledged a day earlier. He was noted for some clumsy antics. He was seen flying around the Bay after fledging. Midi thinks she saw him flying behind Richie, learning to fish better. He was the first chick to bring a fish to the nest to eat. He was last seen on the nest on September 4. In January, the chatters were informed by GGRO that Peace-up had been found dead on October 1 on private land in Corte Madera. He had fallen out of a tree. There was no known cause of death. Rest in Peace, Peace-up
