Linda Woods Reports:
Incubation continues. I usually see one of the adults sitting on a near by building feeding.
At this time, everything looks to be normal behaviour for this stage of incubation. Although I have not seen the male run off the gulls like he was doing last year. Perhaps it's a little too early for that.

Gil Salerno Reports:
I work nearby and my desk looks out onto the nest ledge so I am able to see them come and go during the day. I was able to save this picture after I looked out the window and saw the mother perched on the ledge. You can clearly see that there are four eggs behind her as she takes a break from incubating them.

A quick glance at the webcams and finally caught the King St. birds off the nest. Four eggs are currently being incubated. Yeah!, now if we can only Id the birds.

I was a bit late, but I saw a single peregrine
falcon circling around the Metropolitan United church
at Church and Queen streets on the afternoon of March 4, 2008.

Linda Woods Reports:
Despite the bitter cold and more snow, the 18 King Street peregrines were observed talking up a storm of their own today. With many thanks to Joyce in Rochester New York for capturing these photos of the two love birds on the nest ledge.
Spring is in the air!!!

Linda Woods Reports:
Window washers were out on 18 King St. today trying to get the clean windows before the peregrines start laying eggs.
While they were hanging on their ropes, adult female certainly made them feel unwelcomed. I haven't seen that behaviour since banding last year.
The female made a few passes at the men but then broke off the attack and sat on the condos across the street to supervise their efforts.
