Tracy Simpson Reports:
This was another of the earlier posts that were dropped when we updated our system. I apologize for the missing post but here it is. I have bolded the date for ease of reference.
May 27th - I was on-site at the Brampton Courthouse today to look for activity at the site. The resident male, Milton, was roosting on the southwest corner of the sub-roof. Within 10 minutes he flew off and landed on the same ledge just a few metres north and disappeared. Moments later he emerged with food and took it to the southwest corner one ledge below where he was roosting. As he landed, the female popped up, took the food and left that ledge to go to the sub-roof and eat. As Truss, the resident female, took off the male jumped down into the ledge and disappeared. With only one adult being seen at a time, their behavior and the change off that I witnessed all point to the incubation of something. I will be on-site early next week to see if I can get a view of that ledge and ascertain just what the resident pair are looking after there.
