The air space around the nest site is getting busy indeed! Peregrines are still in control!
June 28, 2011 - Ottawa - Delta Ottawa City Centre
CPF Postmaster Reports:
Good afternoon everyone,
Tuesday, June 28, 2011 — 12:10 p.m. — 1:00 p.m. ~ An adult is perched on the ledge of the Delta Ottawa City Centre rooftop. It is in front of the 4th pillar from the SW corner. I can hear the falcon vocalizing from street level. It seems agitated and can be seen moving around on its perch. At times I observe the falcon preening and then it returns to its post. I observe a turkey vulture flying above Lyon Street and a raven can be seen heading up Kent Street. Speaking of ravens; I observed an unkindness of ravens at about 11:30 a.m. this morning. They were hanging out on the rooftop of a building on Laurier Street.
The falcon never left the rooftop but kept a watchful eye towards the busy skies above its urban cliff. By the time I left it had retreated to inside the ledge and out of sight.
Take care and keep smiling!
Ciao,
N. McKenna
