This morning as I was making my way to the Sheraton, I could see one the King St. Adults on the roof of the King Edward Hotel, and the other on Dundee Place ( formerly known as One Financial).
Yesterday, one chick was clearly see sitting near the edge by the camera. A ball of white, caught my eye.

At 5:55am, when I opened the bedroom curtains, Ranger was on the south-west corner of 77 Bloor West. She remained there until 6:20am and then appeared on the CIBC building at 7:02am. She took off to the north side of the building at 7:50am. Hunter was on the CIBC building at 7:02am as well. The birds mated at 7:31am. Hunter took off to the south at 8:32am. I checked Yorkville out around 11:30am and didn’t see either peregrine. At 4pm, 3 turkey vultures were circling above Bay and Bloor, drifting south. They were not challenged.

A trip to Yorkville at 2:15pm found both peregrines on the Four Seasons Hotel. Hunter was on the north side of the building on the
ledge of the first nesting attempt. Hunter was on the east side, on the south-most false balcony. Interestingly, this balcony can be
completely viewed from inside the hotel. Hunter was in the Yonge and Bloor area earlier this morning between 5:55am and 8:30am.

An early morning peak through the webcam and it looks like they have just been fed and are now enjoying the sunrise.

Ranger was on the south-east corner of 77 Bloor West [SW corner of Bay and Bloor] at 7:25am. At 7:45am, Hunter took up the south-west corner of the CIBC building, took off to mate with Ranger and then took up the south-west corner of 77 Bloor West. He moved back to the CIBC building at 8:20am and both birds were still in their location when I left the area at 8:30am. The past couple of days found Hunter regularly visiting the CIBC building with one observed visit of Ranger to the same area on Tuesday at 6pm.
This photo clearly shows that the chicks are mobile and checking out all the different perspectives offered by their nesting ledge high in the City of Toronto. They continue to be fed by the resident adults anywhere from 5 - 8 times per day.

Rhea Mae delivers a small morsel of food to the 3 chicks. Not much for growing children. Perhaps it was just a snack. As I watched, I could see small pin feathers coming in on one of the chicks. The food was eaten quickly and at the end, one of the chicks found a small feather. When Rhea returned from disposing of the “crumbs” she gathered the chicks and began shuffling them under her. The one with the feather showed it to Rhea Mae. Rhea checked it out, and as settled down, the little still held on to the feather and fell asleep.

Ranger decided to make an appearance at Yonge and Bloor on the CIBC building today. She was first seen in a south concrete slot at 7:10am. She moved to the south logo at 7:58am and finally disappeared from view at 8:40am. Hunter was on the south side of
the same building at 7:26am and disappeared when Ranger left. I searched the Yorkville area later and there was no activity around the Four Seasons Hotel. I didn’t find Hunter but Ranger was on the west side of the Bloor and Bellair condo at 10:22am. At 12:18pm, a turkey vulture was circling above Bay and Bloor, slowly drifting south.
An evening feed caught on the webcam. I assume it is Rhea Mae. After the meal she snuggled the little ones under her. It’s going to be chilly tonight.Forecast calls for a low of 6c.
