Positive Activity on the East ledges
May 15, 2010 - Toronto - Mount Sinai Hospital
Linda Woods Reports:
Intense observations today and yesterday afternoon. Friday afternoon, definite hunting activity on the south side of the hospital, over Elm and Murray St’s. Later one peregrine was seen relaxing on the ledges between the banks of windows.
Saturday, I made my way back to my “perch” to clearly observe. At approximately 11:30a.m, peregrine was seen on the northeast corner of the insurance building at Elm and University, it looked like it may have prey with it, or just finished eating. It took off and headed for the 6th ledge of the east side of the hospital. The second adult took off and headed towards Princess Margaret and disappeared between the buildings. After myself and another volunteer waited another hour the second adult reappeared and approached the sixth ledge of the hospital. At this time, a clear hand off of the “nest’ occurred. The female came off the back area of the ledge and took off towards the north, the male stood in the back facing the corner of the ledge. Stood there for a few seconds, looking down into the corner and then lowered his body below the sight level. A good sign of a nest. Tomorrow, hoping for clear sunny skies, and with the aide of a scope, a better viewing will give us more information.
