January - February 2002

Tom Moreau and Diane Brockman report: We dropped by the Falcon Watch Centre at 7:30 AM and found both Marco and Angel at the nest box - the first time we've seen them together in a good long time. She had her back to the camera and was sitting on the south corner of the box, squawking at Marco. He was on the ledge - facing the southwest side of the box and having a meal. After a short while, he flew off, clutching his breakfast.

Sandra Hawkins reports: At 4:20PM Angel was sitting parallel to and on top of the frame of the nest box. She really is a big girl!! She then flew off and Marco landed on a corner of nest box at 4:26PM.

Tom Moreau and Diane Brockman report: We saw Angel or Marco on the box this morning. Couldn't see any bands because the feathers were all fluffed up and he/she was scrunched right down.

Marcel Gahbauer reports: Around 10 am, Sandra Hawkins spotted one of the peregrines on the nest box, standing far enough back from the edge to be out of the rain. By its relatively small size, it looked like Marco. Earlier in the day, Tom Moreau spotted Marco on the nest around 7:30 with breakfast, likely a sparrow. He noted that he and Diane Brockman have seen both Marco and Angel at the box lately, but never together.

Sandra Hawkins reports: 12:20 pm - Single Peregrine flew from perch on top of camera into the nesting box and proceeded to move around inside the box keeping a very low profile (making a "scrape"?). I viewed this from the Bell Telephone building on the south side of Bloor. After a short while, the bird flew south. I waited another 15 minutes, but it had not returned by then. Lovely sunny, calm day in Toronto. Temperature -7 degrees C.

Marcel Gahbauer reports: Another week has passed, and the situation remains largely unchanged in Etobicoke, with both adults appearing periodically on the nest ledge. On Saturday February 9, Sandra Hawkins observed one of them, likely Marco, perched atop the camera, while I saw both adults through the camera over the course of the weekend.

Marcel Gahbauer reports: Over the past week, both peregrines have been seen at the nest tray on several occasions, but all the reports I have received suggest that they have been visiting the site independently. The closest the two have been together of late is when one has been on the nest, and the other on the camera at the opposite end of the ledge. Thanks to Sandra Hawkins, Norma Pennells, Tom Moreau, and Diane Brockman for their notes on Marco and Angel over the past week.

Sunday January 27, 2002
Marcel Gahbauer reports: Reports in the past week from Sandra Hawkins and Norma Pennells confirm that Angel (and possibly Marco as well) continue to perch on the nest tray. The webcam remains active, and by checking on it periodically in recent days, I have seen one of the adults on the box more often than not, though it was difficult to tell whether it was Angel or Marco I was seeing.
