“The Girls” from Rochester Meet the William Osler Pair!!
October 15, 2011 - Etobicoke - William Osler
Tracy Simpson Reports:
Today we had lunch with “The Girls” and as they were heading back home, they wanted to stop in and visit peregrines on their way. We gave them directions to the William Osler Hospital site and after all of the tales we’ve shared with them about this fabulous pair, they wanted to see them for themselves. They report:
When they arrived on site, both O’Connor and Hurricane were on the east facing “H” sign of the hospital, each on a corner facing one another. The two of them sat in the lee of the winds enjoying an evening roost without the kids. Carol remarked on how sweet and pretty O’Connor looked up there with her dapper male, Hurricane. Needless to say, I have insisted they come back for the 2012 Fledge Watch to see this pair in action and witness what wonderful peregrine parents they are!!
The three young have been away from the nest site for quite some time, fine tuning their skills in preparation for their great flight south. As Frank has reported to me from his hawk watch, many peregrines are on their way and I suspect that Wind, Rain and Storm have headed towards the border by now. We wish them a good journey and look forward to seeing them possibly raising families of their own someday!
