A Few Shots of Haven

Canada Square Peregrine report May 22 2012

 

It was a hot and muggy day today and I think the peregrines felt it as much as I did. There was not a lot of activity – much the same as on Sunday.

 

I was out mid-afternoon and walked down to a store along Eglinton West. When I stopped at the light at Duplex and Eglinton I checked the nest and saw the back of a bird which I later figured to be Stormin. On my return from shopping I saw Haven fly west to Oriole Parkway area and then south. As I approached the Duplex intersection I saw Stormin fly south for a way then turn west.

 

I returned about a half hour later and Haven was on the ledge. She went for a short fly about and came back to the ledge. I missed her take off into the blue yonder but saw her another half hour later preening, cleaning and stretching on the ledge.

 

Again she went for a fly about, south in front of the condos and circled back over the mast at 2180 Yonge, over Canada Square and onto the top floor of the Rio-Can building. There she sat for twenty minutes before flying east, turning and coming back along Eglinton, over the *Gold building* at the corner of Duplex and Eglinton and then through the gap and over the cinemas at Yonge Eglinton Centre. She circled around and came back to the ledge for one minute before taking off again. I left at that point.
