CPF Postmaster Reports:
We have finally received some updated news from London Ontario that reports peregrine activity on the TD building nest ledge. Fingers crossed that London may have a territorial pair again. Sounds like their may be nesting activity!
The author reports: Sighted a Peregrine falcon adult at the TD Canada Trust building at noon on April 7, circled and Landed on the ledge below the west facing sign. The pigeons were trying hard to disappear.

Sue McCreadie Reports:
Bill and I spent some time at the Lift Bridge this morning. We found Sir sitting on the Hamilton Hydro Tower. We went down by the Washrooms, and with the scope we were able to see Cirrus laying in the nest box. Things were quiet while we were there, but hopefully progressing towards a successful hatch.

Donna Daniel an Ohio Department of Natural Resources-Wildlife Division officer,will have regular updates about Durand,a female Peregrine Falcon hatched in 2009 at the Hamilton Sheraton Hotel.
April 3rd,2011, Durand laid her first egg of the season. The male is yet to be confirmed so far this season.
My friend Deb/Buckibird reported to me.
Good Morning Frank!!
Just a quick note to let you know Durand laid her 2nd egg the day before yesterday with hopefully # 3 today ! She moved the 1st egg to the opposite side of the nestbox and laid the 2nd egg where she laid the 1st !!! I did send Donna at the ODNR an email asking about the identity of the male, Trooper or new male, and have not heard back with an answer as of yet ! I will keep you posted as to the happenings in the Columbus nest :):)
Have a great day !!
Deb
Thanks to our friends in Ohio for keeping us posted on Durand’s activities.

Linda Woods Reports:
This afternoon around 3:30p.m. one peregrine was sitting on the north corner of the OPG building ( Hydro Building ) at University and College Sts. Another peregrine was sitting on the Apartment complex at Elizabeth and Gerrard Sts.
The second peregrine took off and flew towards Bay St. Circled and then went north out of my view. The Hydro peregrine remained in the same spot. Not sure if it was feeding or not.

Frank Butson Reports:
Ely from 2008 King St nest in Toronto,is on site with her mate Dipper at the Cleveland Clinic site. On April 3,Chad and Chris checked and found Ely had 2 eggs.
Chad and Chris reported:When we checked here on Sunday, as we walked into the conference room to check the nest Ely was walking into the box where she had two eggs.After checking the eggs, Ely came back out, and shortly after Dipper flew up to mate.
Then Dipper flew off, and very soon afterward returned with a fresh catch, which he plucked on the ledge.Then Dipper landed on a ledge close to the box while Ely was inside. He walked it over, and she stepped out and took it (unfortunately, we were blocked by the box for the transfer).
After awhile Ely came back and perched here on this corner. By the time we check again on Sunday her clutch will be complete.
Thanks to Chad and Chris for use of their photos and doing all they do with all of the Peregrines there, including “our” Ely! We look forward to future reports. Chad and Chris report extensively on Ohio Peregrines at http://www.falconcam-cmnh.org/e107_plugins/forum/forum.php

Linda Woods Reports:
Just saw both King st. adults in a big fly around at 08:30 this morning. One appeared to chasing prey just east of the King Edward Hotel. They both soared high above 1 Toronto St. One flew broke off and south east towards St. James Church east. One came back towards the nest building, but I could not see if it went back to the nest ledge.
Last evening they both took off in a stoop chasing something north of Court St. and out of my view. Kestrels are active in the area as well.

Linda Woods Reports:
King St. peregrines have been evasive of late, indicating that they must have eggs.
We are working on getting the live image back on the web page,til then we’ll have to continue to watch, observe and report any peregrine activities at this site.

CPF Postmaster Reports:
One adult peregrine just cruised past my window on the 18th floor of the Niagara Falls Hilton. (Canadian side, near the gorge). Too late to snap a photo but was within ten feet of the bird and got a very good look. Time: 11:40 am April 5th. 2011.
I have been sitting here for hours with camera in hand waiting for a second chance at that photo. Will send it along if I get lucky.

Kathy Reports:
Exciting day for Angel today, as if the wind and rain wasn’t enough..lots of Turkey Vulture’s around so she hauled herself out of the nest box to back up Jack when he didn’t return as quickly as she would have when they came into the territory earlier in the day.
I stayed a bit after work tonight and I thought all was calm and quiet as I couldn’t see anyone so I figured Angel was happily laying in the box. About 10 minutes later I hear alarm calling and out of the nestbox comes Jack yelling his head off ..he stopped not too far away from me and turned around and went back to the nestbox. I was a bit puzzled as to what he was alarming about and then a few minutes later Angel comes flying in from the south and lands on the web cam. Some chit chatting ensued and then Jack took off to his other ‘wife’ and Angel jumped back into the nestbox and settled herself down. I’m guessing she chased something off and perhaps he was watching her or she took too long on her break and he was telling her to get back to the box

Jan Chudy Reports:
Watching the web cam at 1:55 Toronto time, I spotted a change-over at the nest box. Sadly, I was too slow on the draw to snap a photograph. I wonder, then, if this implies we are now in to incubation and there will be no fifth egg. Just a question…
