Testing the Waters

March 30, 2008 - Toronto - Sheraton Centre

Linda Woods Reports:

While Mark and I tried to re-establish communication with the Osler camera, Tiago took his turn at keeping the single egg warm, while Rhea Mae preened on the “Exchange Tower” south of the Sheraton. A second egg was expected Sunday, but didn’t appear. This being Rhea Mae’s first clutch, she may just be “testing the waters”. It’s still early in the season, so there is still lots of time.

Great Photos of the Adults

March 20, 2008 - Toronto - Sheraton Centre

CPF Volunteer Reports:

Not sure if you are still tracking the Downtown falcon, but I photographed her 2 days in a row now on the balcony of the 32nd floor of the 4 Seasons Hotel. Here are a few of the pics I mentioned shooting from the 4 Seasons Hotel. The falcons are there quite frequently these days.

There were 3 together the other day. Beautiful creatures.
