King Street Pair Present but Uneasy
January 21, 2012 - Toronto - King Street
Tracy Simpson Reports:
After our adventure at Holcim, Frank and I headed down to 18 King St. East to check in on the resident pair there. When we arrived, there were no peregrines in sight but we decided to wait out the parking meter. When they finally arrived on the ledge, the male was making very fast fly throughs past the ledge and off to the north. Erin would land on the retaining wall or the ledge for a brief moment and then she was off in the same direction as the male. The male made several of these south to north fly throughs at high speeds and the female on two occasions made a recon circle of the building roof. We couldn’t see anything that would explain the unease but we continued to watch. At one point, both adults landed on the ledge next to one another but that was a short visit as less than 60 seconds later, they were both off again. We will be back down again on Sunday to visit with the resident pair again.
