Burlington Lift Bridge - April 23, 1009
April 23, 2009 - Burlington - Lift Bridge
Sue McCreadie Reports:
Yesterday, between 1:00 and 2:30 Bill and I made our daily visit to the Lift Bridge. When we arrived, there was nothing to be seen. All of a sudden, the chirping started. An adult emerged from the nest box, standing guard on the corner, and another adult came out of nowhere and landed on the old nest ledge. We knew something was amiss because of the chirping. Low and behold, another adult appeared flying above the Hamilton tower. The chirping continued for quite a while as the third adult soared over the tower. Then the pursuit started. The chase was on and two birds disappeared over CCIW and out of our view. After about 15 minutes, an adult reappeared and disappeared into the nest box. So when we left around 2:30, there was still only 1 adult accounted for. It sure is different this year with all new perches and hiding places. These birds are darn difficult to spot. This is the third visit in the last week that we have seen 3 peregrines on site.
