!!! Ranger Is The Resident Female
May 01, 2011 - Toronto - Mount Sinai Hospital
Linda Woods Reports:
Ranger has been clearly identified as the resident female peregrine falcon setting up house at Mt.Sinai Hospital. A wonderful opportunity for Tracy to snap this photo and make a positive ID.
Ranger was hatched in Rochester, N.Y in 2001 and is the grand-daughter of Toronto’s first ever nesting peregrine falcons from King St, Pounce Kingsley and his mate Victoria.
Ranger’s mate has not been positively Identified as yet, but Peregrine Falcons mate for life, indications are that her mate is still Hunter, who was hatched in Columbus, Ohio in 2000. Ranger is wearing red and black bands on the left leg. Hunter wears green and black bands on his left leg.
Nesting behaviour continues, and we are continuing to monitor and observe. Hopefully soon we will have photos of the nest itself. Mother Nature has to bring us some warm weather and sunny skies to allow the adults a little time away from the nest.
Thank you to the staff at Mt.Sinai and Princess Margaret Hospitals for their ongoing support and updates.
