Mark Nash Reports:
It appears that the adult peregrines on site at Scarborough Bell building were more than active today to say the least!! After hooking up with Marion and Bruce on site in the late afternoon and early evening after a flurry of telephone calls from Marion to hurry up and get there with the camera, I was blown away by the amount of observations that that that the two had witnessed. The adult pair were observed in full courtship mode, with at least 8 copulations having been witnessed in less than three hours. With lots of vocalizing, and many short flights with the pair in and out of the hack box on numerous occasions. While the adult male never gave them a real good look at his leg bands, the adult female did, exposing her Black over Green band, 91 over V. After checking my e-mail communication from our good friends in Rochester from last year, it appears that the adult is non-other than Linn, produced in Rochester New York at the Kodak nest site in 2007. She was photographed and observed several times last year with an adult male also wearing a Black over Green coloured leg band and a pinkish /purple coloured USFW band,, both at the Scarborough water tower and the Bell building. While the photos I have are not the best and were taken after all of the best action had finished, it does show an decent view of Linn as she appeared from the inside of the hack box. Look for Marion’s report
Stay tuned………
