Hi Mark,
I am sending you some of the photos of the proceedings here at Holcim.
These were taken on Friday May 4th after we had 3 hatchlings, We now have 4 happy little chicks as of today (May 8th) but that footage is still being worked on. I will send them as I get them.
All is going well here.

Mark,
Once we saw the rain had moved through, off we went to the Niagara gorge. As we got closer, we saw there was still a lot of fog and mist in the area. duh… for quite a while, we could hardly see the pefa in the box. We scanned the area, the rooftops and the gorge, looking for the second pefa with no luck.
As Roger and I were walking back to the point to leave, Jacquie showed up, so we all stayed, eyes, scopes, binocs and cameras watching the box, hoping to see a hatch. Oddly, after three days of pefa restlessness, the bird was very quiet today with a minimum of movement detected.
Roger got the pic-of-the-day, below, showing the eggs. The other two pix show the misty, foggy conditions we encountered.
Roger, Jacquie and I are now betting on Thursday as the big day!
Again, rain is forecast for Wed and Thurs, and we’ll be monitoring the Intellecast radar to see when we can make a break for it.
Vicki, Roger & Jacquie at your service 
A short visit to Mt.Sinai area today. I found the adult female preening on the south east corner of the structure. No other activity noted during this short visit, but they are still on site. Promising.
A great image of the little ones after a good meal. I’ve seen Windwhistler today, sitting on the upper south area of the King Edward Hotel.
Dinner is served at the Sheraton this evening.

Bruce was up to check on a hatch today. See attached photo by Bruce. We can confirm that one of the 2 eggs has hatched. Congratulations to Stormin and Haven and of course surogate parents at Canada Square!
Lyn has sent along this update with more observations of todays visit.

Neil, of Northam Realty and Bruce, CPF volunteer both agree that there is at least one hatchling. I saw a little bundle of white fluff and egg shells Photos by Bruce attached
Later on when I was on my usual perch I saw Haven fly around Rio-Can and Heart & Stroke. She then flew behind the Condos way south and back, high, in front of the nest on Canada Square. She flew behind Rio-Can again and then over the Police Station. Stormin left the nest and flew in her direction. As he crossed Duplex he dropped a huge feather! Five minutes later Haven flew to the nest ledge and shortly thereafter Stormin followed and disappeared from sight. A minute later Haven flew to Rio-Can perched briefly before flying to the middle of 2180 Yonge where she perched on the top window ledge. She then flew along the side of the building and disappeared from view and then back to the top of Rio-Can. She ignored the two high flying gulls, waited for them to disappear and then flew to the nest ledge with a food package. One minute later Stormin flew off the nest ledge to Rio-Can and perched seven floors down. A minute later he took off and I did not see him again for half an hour when I spotted him eating on the ledge below the nest. A minute after that he flew north of the apartment building, with a food package, circled back, all the while gaining height, and landed on the ledge on the south west corner of the building. He ate a little more then flew north, gained more height circled back over Eglinton Ave turned north yet again and disappeared from view.
I saw no more action for an hour and so I left. As I walked in front of the Rio-Can building I checked, as I always do when I have seen the peregrines perched on the building, for *food remnants* on the sidewalk. I was in luck today as I found what I believe to be the head and feathers of a blue jay.

Bruce confirms that Quest and Kendal have a hatch. He saw the chick seeming to be napping in the half-shell. Congratulations to Quest,Kendal and their hosts.
An eagle errr falcon eyed viewer in Rochester thought she saw a hatch for Quest and Kendal. Ive been on the camera since about the same time and believe that to be true. Quest’s fidgity behavior and posture are indications a hatch has taken place. CPF along with the followers around the world await 100% confirmation, we are watching! Look for a broken eggshell or little squirmy fuzzy.

I saw Stormin fly onto the nest ledge and disappear to the back. There was a bit of vocalizing and he then flew out and up to the top of the furthest *upright/wall* south of the nest.
Ten minutes later Haven flew out and joined him. She appeared to have a quick bite to eat, flew to the middle *upright/wall* and then back to the the furthest one before turning and flying right back to the nest ledge. She was off the nest for just a minute.
When she was back on the nest ledge I heard her give her *chuk-chuk-chuk* call and disappear to the back.
A minute after that Stormin called and flew to the nest ledge. A minute later he flew off the nest ledge and landed one ledge over on the ledge below the nest height. He appeared to be eating something and called again.
There were a couple of more calls and then he flew onto the nest ledge and disappeared to the back. Three minutes later he flew off the nest ledge and onto the middle *upright/wall*. When I left an hour later he was still perched in the same spot all puffed up against the cold and the wind.
This behaviour seemed a little different from usual. I did not see food going into the nest ledge but did not have the binoculars up when they flew onto the ledge. Bruce will check on them tomorrow to see if there may be a hatchling or not.
