!!! A First Egg?
March 23, 2011 - Toronto - Sheraton Centre
Linda Woods Reports:
Can’t be too sure at this time until I get a visual confirmation, but the activity at the Sheraton nest tray is indicating we are close to a first egg.
Last evening I checked the camera before the snow fall. One adult was in the tray and then sitting on the edge of the tray.
This morning a bird was lying down in the nest tray with all the snow around. Around 9:30 the bird moved and was seen sitting on the far end of the nesting ledge, sitting on the other camera frame. She later returned to lay down in the nest tray. She has returned this evening. I captured one shot late this afternoon / early evening and I can’t see an egg in the tray, but the adult peregrine has returned to the tray. Could she be keeping the nest warm with anticipation of the first egg? Please see pictures captured from the tray camera. Please be aware with the spring time change the clock on the camera did not adjust for the spring time change.
More news tomorrow when I make the trip to the viewing port. Hopefully I’ll have coloured pictures to show as well.
