April 18, 2009 - Burlington - Lift Bridge
Sue McCreadie Reports:
Could this be Pittsburgh Pete?
Bill and I were at the Lift Bridge today from 2:30 to 5:00. There were three falcons on site today. One in the nest box who came out to see what the ruckus was about. The chase was on with the other two. We are not certain if it was the juvenile that we saw on Wednesday as most of the action was over the CCIW, but my guess would be yes.
We will try again tomorrow for a clear shot of the bands.
Strange happenings in Burlington!!!

April 16, 2009 - Hamilton - Sheraton Hotel
Sarah Washington Reports:
The Hamilton Nest Site is happy to announce that they have 4 eggs this year!
With the weather being a factor in trying to see how many eggs were in the scrape, we had one day when Madame X took a nice big stretch and 4 beautiful eggs were showing!
Madame X and Surge have been identified as the nesting pair again for the 3rd year in a row, however this is Hamilton’s 15th year.
We are hoping for Mother’s Day for a first glimpse of fluff, or anytime after that.

April 16, 2009 - Ottawa - Delta Ottawa City Centre
CPF Volunteer Reports:
While up on the roof of Constitution Square Tower 1, I was able to confirm 4 large brown eggs in the nest scrape across the street on the Crowne Plaza Hotel, southeast corner of the ledge. Hatching is expected around the 5th of May and the Falcon Watch to start around the middle of June.

April 15, 2009 - Burlington - Lift Bridge
Sue McCreadie Reports:
Bill and I were at the Lift Bridge this afternoon between 2:00 and 3:00 and witnessed the most unbelievable aerial display. The first clue that something was up was lots of ee-chupping. The next thing we knew, a bird came flying out of the nest box and the chasing and diving and screaming at one another began. We never actually saw a strike, but it was pretty intense. It went on for at least 40 minutes. We thought that it was definitely a male and female as there was a great size difference. When we got home and downloaded the photos, this is what we found:
1. The large bird appears to be a juvenile with black over green bands
2. The smaller bird was an adult with a black bland on the right leg and a silver band on the left leg
Unfortunately, we were unable to read any band numbers, but we will try again tomorrow.
When the chase was over, the adult bird returned to the nest box, disappeared inside, and the other bird disappeared somewhere behind the Burlington Tower
Very interesting happenings. It is possible we have a 2008 Juvenile trying to take over with the adults trying to chase it away or do we have a Juvenile that has taken over the territory from ‘Our Mom’? Hmmmm!

April 14, 2009 - Toronto - King Street
Linda Woods Reports:
While everyone awaits the live pictures from the webcam to be activated, physical watching of the monitor will have to do.
11:25 this morning I was up to the monitor to wait for a hand off of the nest. It wasn’t long before the female appeared on the nest ledge to take over from the male, who was currently on the eggs.
4 eggs confirmed at the King St. nest site.

April 12, 2009 - Toronto - Four Seasons
Linda Woods Reports:
Regular observations in the Bay Bloor area of the Four Season Hotel, have resulted in very little activity of the peregrines. At this time there is no evidence that nesting is being attempted at this site, at this time.
It’s still early, but we’ll just have to wait and see.
