!!! The Territorial Adult Male has been Identified at Sir Adam Beck!

May 13, 2009 - Burlington - Lift Bridge

Mark Nash Reports:

With a huge thanks to Bill and Sue for getting the adult male’s band number (Solid Black band 01 over V), we finally have an identity on the new adult male at the Burlington nest site.  Its non-other than Sir Adam Beck, produced at the Toronto King street nest site in 2006.  Named by one of our sponsors (Ontario Power Generation), banded on June 9th/2006 at 32 days old, weighing in at 650 grams.

Now the focus is on the adult female to get a positive ID on her.  She continues to brood her three new hatchlings and making it difficult to get any detailed views of her leg band numbers.  we suspect that it is the same female that was photographed earlier in March and in May of this year as having a Black over green band K over 83.

Time to warm the cameras up folks………  Stay tuned………..
