Latest From Canada Square
January 30, 2012 - Toronto - Canada Square Building - Yonge and Eglinton
Frank Butson Reports:
Latest report for the Canada Square peregrines, Jan 30th 2012.
Lyn Reports:
I was out and about and went south across Eglinton Ave and checked for the peregrines - not a feather to be seen.
I then went on a couple of errands north of Eglinton Ave and when I was coming back down Yonge street I saw one of the peregrines all fluffed up and sitting on the railing, north east corner, one floor below the nest level on Canada Square. I looked for and found the mate sitting on the highest *window upright*, on the east face of the Heart and Stroke (H & S) building. I had some business in a bank and endured the long line up. When I came out the bird from Canada Square had gone but the one on H & S was still there. I carefully scanned the top of the H & S building and saw the *missing* peregrine tucking into a late lunch. The mate just sat on the perch it was on and was all fluffed up not even bothering the bird who was eating.
Unfortuntely, I of course was out without binoculars. Because it was such a grey day I was unable to get colour on either of the peregrines. Nor was I able to get a size difference as both of them were fluffed against the wind and cool air.
Cheers
