April 05, 2010 - Etobicoke - William Osler
CPF Postmaster Reports:
We have just received encouraging news in that a second has appeared in the nest tray. While the resident adult female is still not involved in full time incubation activities, the situation looks very promising indeed that this new unknown adult female is been successful in claiming the territory and nest ledge, and starting to produce eggs. No new squabbling has been reported and it might appear that this new female (who-ever she might be) is here to stay.
Stay tuned……

Kathy Reports:
After a few days of seeing no one on the ledges or only Jack, I just caught another shift change. Jack flew in to give mom a break and some lunch. After 15 minutes, they switched places and he headed immediately in the direction of his other ‘home’.
Her full time presence in the nestbox began on April 1st so we will start the countdown to hatch from then and hope for the best! We can only guess how many eggs she is incubating at this point.
An attempt will be made tomorrow to resolve our webcam issues assuming it is something internal that will not require disturbing the nest during incubation.

Doug Garbutt Reports:
Our resident birds are very ellusive this year as they don’t show up much on the side of our bulding where you can see them. They stay alot on the canal side which we don’t really have access to. The good news is that our management has agreed to replace our monitor. We are hoping to have it before we have a hatch,( if we are indeed lucky enough to have a hatch) this year. We do think the birds are taking good care of their 4 eggs to this point. If you recall, last year we had 4 eggs, only to have them destroyed by either an intruder or the rattled pair of residents here. As soon as our monitor is installed, I will bring regular updates to this site.

Frank Butson Reports:
The good folks in Ohio,Chad and Chris,have once again let us know a Peregrine from Canada was seen and photographed by them. CPF-volunteer Kathy forwarded their information to CPF and Mark Nash of The Canadian Peregrine Foundation found the following information.
“I can confirm after checking our hardcopy banding records that the Black 15 over Black X banded Pefa that you make reference to was named “Marla”,banded on June -2- 2009 at an Etobicoke nest site, identified at banding as a female, weighing 889 grams at approx. 22 days old when banded.”
She has been seen in territorial scuffles with the resident female Peregrine who is now on eggs.
CPF is happy to receive reports and confirm identities of Peregrine Falcons. Thanks to Chad and Chris again for their inquiries and the great work they do in Ohio with Peregrine Falcons.

Linda Woods Reports:
After many attempts for a colour photo of Rhea Mae and Tiago’s four eggs, finally this morning around 11:15. It was a quick hand off of the nest, not even enough time to snap a second photo of either adult.
So here it is, the fab four.

Bruce Massey Reports:
Made a quick pass through North York Nest area, from Sheppard to Finch with no luck in finding them. However it was such a nice day, I didn’t mind not finding them but I am sure they are there.

Bruce Massey Reports:
On a whim, I decided to check the Eglington area. When I was doing the Christmas Bird Count for a Club I belong to just before Christmas, I was driving through the area, and thought I had seen a Peregrine in the area. After walking up from Davisville, much to my surprise I found a Male Peregrine perched on the Antenna on the Bof M Building on the SW corner of Yonge & Eglington. I observed the bird for an hour or so, in the hope that it would reveal a possible nest, but all it did was make several Hunting Flights and returned to the above Antenna.

Bruce Massey Reports:
On my second Quick Check I went to the Sheraton Center to check on the Peregrines. When I got to Adelaide & York , nothing was visible but again checking my trusty Blackberry I was able to access the Nest Cam and see one of the Birds Incubating the Eggs in the nest box.
