We’re watching!
June 07, 2011 - Ottawa - Delta Ottawa City Centre
CPF Postmaster Reports:
June 7, 2011 — 12:10 p.m. — I was in front of the Delta Ottawa City Centre hotel when I heard strong vocalizing coming from the rooftop. I was across the street and could not find any adult falcon within my field of vision. I’m quite certain that an adult falcon was in the nest area. I looked up towards the Minto Place Suite Hotel and saw the same trio of Turkey Vultures that I’ve seen twice before soaring above the Minto buildings. The urgent cries kept coming for a few minutes until the vultures disappeared from sight. I searched the surrounding area to see if any windows were being washed nearby or if anything else could be upsetting the peregrine falcon but came up empty-handed.
12:55 p.m. — I came back to see if anything was amiss on the rooftop and all was quiet until I reached the hotel and heard the now familiar vocalizing of the peregrine falcon. By the time I crossed the street the falcon was silent once again.
Take care and keep smiling!
Ciao,
