Belle lives up to her name

July 31, 2008 - Toronto - Sheraton Centre

CPF Volunteer Reports:

Scanning west from the 61st floor of First Canadian Place, I spotted a juvenile on the NW corner of Royal Trust Tower. As I focussed the scope, she stretched her legs and showed of her yellow and red tape - Belle! I watched her for many minutes - she truly is a beautiful bird. After approximately 10 minutes she took of NW, soaring and circling. Suddenly she appeared to start a stoop towards the south - and then it became a game - one of her siblings had arrived on the scene. I watched for the next five minutes as they chased each other, flying high and low and fast. I finally lost sight of them near Metro Hall. Whay a lovely end to the afternoon.
