June 16, 2009 - London - TD Tower

CPF Postmaster Reports:

While a little late in our reporting due to the huge back log we’re dealing with at this time of year, we have received some sad news from the London area.  Hance, a building engeneer  has reported finding a dead falcon in one of the rooftop cooling pools from a building top down on Wellington Street.  He was kind enough to send us a couple of photos. While we had originally believed that it may have been a peregrine falcon given that it was banded with a Silver USFW band, a closer insoection of the photos, it is obvious that the bird in the photos is not Peregrine falcon, but likly an Amerian Kestrel.   It is banded on the right leg…#1523-84675
