Canada Square report, Friday, 20120511
When I arrived there were no peregrines and there was no action. I settled down to wait. Six minutes later Haven had me flummoxed as she ran to the right on the ledge as far as the wall and then back again to the scrape area. Two minutes later she flew off the nest ledge to the middle *upright/wall* of Canada Square where she sat for minute before flying to the Rio-Can building and sat there for half a minute, four floors from the top. After that she flew back to the ledge and disappeared.
Half an hour later Stormin flew onto the rooftop of Rio-Can at the SW corner. Three minutes later he flew to the top level of the apartment building on Duplex Ave where he sat for a minute before flying up Duplex in front of the apartment building. He flew north and then turned back and then flew by the same building a couple of times before disappearing.
Haven popped into sight on the ledge again and was *busy* - sorry could not determine what she was doing, it did not look like feeding. She was away from the scrape area. Stormin in the meantime had flown south to 2180 Yonge but on the west side and then back up to the top of the concrete wall on Canada Square where he sat for a minute. He made another *fly by* of the apartment building then flew over Duplex Ave and west to disappear from view. He was gone for almost an hour. He returned to the nest ledge and was greeted by Haven (or greeted her) at the edge and she turned and disappeared from view.
Stormin flew to the southwest side of the Rio-Can building again, six floors down, then to the southeast side where he sat for a few minutes. Haven left the nest ledge and flew to the Rio-Can building then flew over Stormin and around the east side out of view. A minute later Stormin flew to Canada Square, onto the nest ledge and out of sight. Haven in the meantime had circled the RC building and was gone again. About five minutes later Haven did a *fly by* of the apartment building up Duplex Ave and then back down to the SE corner of the RC building. I missed the changeover but did see Stormin leave the nest ledge and fly to the RC building. I left and he was still sitting on the south face.
