Kathy Reports:
I meant to post this a few weeks ago. It is news about a 2006 born female named Lara at our Etobicoke Sunlife location who is now nesting at the Ohio Turnpike Bridge. I received the information from a lovely lady named Alison who runs a great site covering falcons all over the world.
It was posted on her website by two avid falconers named Chad and Chris and I encourage you to go and check out their photos of Lara and mate Rocky. Rocky is a son born to the famous Buckeye who passed away in 2007 - if you haven’t read about him, I recommend looking up his history at the link I’ve included below - he was an outstanding male falcon and much beloved by falcon fans around the world including myself.
Here is the great news about Lara and Rocky:
“Great news– looks like we have a hatch here in their second attempt this year! After about an hour we saw Rocky fly in with food and land up at the nest site. Lara came out from back in, took the food, flew to the support across from the nest to eat some, then flew to the nest and went in with the food. Here’s one shot of Lara with the food before she went up to the support…”
Here’s the link to the thread, which has great photos of Lara and Rocky:
