!!! 3 Chicks Confirmed..Video Clip
May 14, 2010 - Etobicoke - Sun Life Centre
Frank Butson Reports:
Today,I was up on the roof of the Kingsway On The Park and can confirm there are 3 Peregrine Falcon chicks which are somewhere in the range of 7-10 days old. This would coincide with Kathy’s observation of food going into the nest. Today was very eventful,as I was stooped briefly by both Jack and Angel. The wound Jack had gotton in the territorial battle was not evident,so must have healed up nicely. He looked well and strong and abit mean when he stooped me. He later chased off a Turkey Vulture,striking it several times,before it left the area. When I arrived,Mom was sheilding the young,more from a warm sun I believe then me. Eventually a single fluffy white head appeared. For the longest time,only one was visible such that I believed thats all there was and I was ready to hault observations. Just after closing a gate,and readying to leave,a 2nd chick popped up. Unpacked and watched until the 3rd chick popped up against its Moms chest. A Redtailed Hawk was also escorted from the area. Please enjoy this video clip of todays visit.
