I was out this evening doing some banking and was caught without binoculars! I heard squawking and looked up to see one peregrine about halfway up the Rio-Can east face. One of the juveniles has been a squawker this year and periodically I hear him in the early morning. Anyway I had walked north on Yonge and on my way south the *squawker* flew from the north face of the Heart and Stroke to the east face and then flew off again to disappear. When I was at home I heard more squawking and so I went outside to look for him. As I approached Duplex and Eglinton intersection I saw a peregrine flying *hell bent for leather* over 53 Division and south west and was gone, but the bird was followed by another one who was a bit slower. One of those two flew north from perhaps the Avenue road area (way west) and disappeared. I settled down for a brief few minutes and then *squawky* announced himself and settled on the ledge below the nest ledge on Canada Square. He appeared to have flown in from the south west. From there he flew to the railing around the TVO antenna level. That was a brief stop. He flew north up the east side of Heart and Stroke. By the time I arrived at Yonge street there were two birds in the air over Heart and Stroke and one flew south and up to the tall condo whilst the other landed on the north east corner of Canada Square just below the nest ledge height. Not long after that the one from the Canada Square building flew north and disappeared.
