Monitoring continues.
April 13, 2012 - Ottawa - Delta Ottawa City Centre
CPF Postmaster Reports:
(Friday) April 13, 2012 — (7:10 a.m.) — As I’m walking up Lyon Street I observe an adult gracefully landing on the SW corner of the Delta Ottawa City Centre hotel. I can hear some intense vocalizing as the adult enters the rooftop. I don’t believe that a package of food was delivered but keep in mind that I noticed the falcon from a distance just as it was stepping inside the ledge and it could have something tucked in between its talons. I could still hear some heated vocalizing when I crossed the street. Without a trusted pair of binoculars I could not detect the adults from my vantage point. A few minutes later an adult (although I cannot confirm if it was the same the same adult that just arrived) flew out from the SW section of the rooftop and contoured the Constitution Square, Tower 1 building on Lyon/Albert Streets and came out between Tower 1 and Tower 2 presumably it was heading towards the hotel. I crossed the street again and headed up Albert Street but I could not find any activity or vocalizing coming from the hotel rooftop. I checked the surrounding building rooftops but came up empty-handed. Where the falcon landed is a mystery.
(Friday) April 13, 2012 — (12:20 p.m.) — All appears to be quiet on the Delta Ottawa City Centre rooftop this afternoon. An adult is perched near the 1st SE pillar. After searching Connor and Diana’s usual haunts I cannot detect the presence of its mate.
Take care,
