February 20th, 2005 -- (from Beth Barron:) I observed Dundas (a male notable for his missing right foot) only a few feet from a busy road at Upper Gage and Fennell in Hamilton, Ontario at 4:15pm. He quickly tore apart the carcass of what I believe was a pigeon. People were walking by on the sidewalk and I was able to get about 10 feet away from him. I happened to have a video camera with me and took about 10 minutes of video of him. He still has all of his right leg but has lost about 3/4 of his foot as there is still some yellow apparent on the leg. He was banded on his left leg and used his tail and wing for balance as he ate. I'm no expert on birds but I believe he looked to be in good condition.
