!!! Gloomy Day..
November 11, 2011 - Etobicoke - Sun Life Centre
Kathy Reports:
It’s a cloudy, cold and gloomy day today but both our falcons are on site sitting side by side on the nest ledge. Earlier Angel was busy escorting a Red Tail out of the territory and made a big production out of it, yelling her head off as if the sky was falling!
On Monday I saw a juvenile falcon sitting on one the glass towers and Angel was dive bombing him…but not with an intent to hurt him I noticed as she stopped short of actually making contact with him. It reminded me of the time when Milton was visiting and she did the same thing, not trying to hurt him ..just trying to impress upon him that he shouldn’t be in her territory. She was,this time like then, also chatting to him which I thought was interesting.
After about 5 minutes of harassment, the young juvenile lifted off and flew west and she didn’t even bother giving him an escort out. I wish I had had my binoculars at the time as I’m wondering if it was one of the boys coming back for a visit or perhaps a wandering juvenile that just stopped in for a rest before continuing on his journey.
