You’ve got to be asking,, will there be a hatch this year?
June 29, 2011 - Ottawa - Delta Ottawa City Centre
CPF Postmaster Reports:
Good morning,
Wednesday, June 29, 2011 — 7:05 a.m. — 7:30 a.m. It’s a brisk and overcast morning in Ottawa. I hear some vocalizing near the nest site (NW corner) of the Delta Ottawa City Centre but I cannot locate a falcon. Connor arrives from above the Place de Ville Towers and lands on the NW ledge (side of the hotel). He doesn’t stay tucked in there long and I just have time to cross the street as he takes off around the hotel to land on the SE corner. He keeps scouting towards the NE. Pigeons frolic everywhere oblivious to the bird of prey standing guard on his urban cliff. He stays there for a good 15 minutes and then takes off in the same direction where he came from. I’ll check back again during the lunch hour to see if I can spot both falcons.
Take care and keep smiling!
Ciao,
N. McKenna
