!!! Brampton Courthouse Pefa’s still very active!
November 13, 2012 - Brampton - Courthouse
CPF Postmaster Reports:
Tuesday Nov. 13th - 2012
At around 2:30pm today I found Milton at the top of one of the communication towers above the courthouse.
As I got closer I could see him moving about on his perch. Today I forgot the camera at home but did have my bins so I pointed them at Milton and after a few seconds he was off. I tracked him for a second with the bins when I noticed a second PG!
I brought down the bins long enough to see a cop a few feet from me, staring at me and probably thinking I was crazy but I didn’t have time to explain since I saw the two Pefa’s chasing after a flock of about 7 pigeons.
The flock split and well amid the chaos I’m not sure who went where but there was some serious diving going on by both Pefa’s and fastest of all, one pigeon. I had to look twice as I’ve never seen a pigeon dive for its life before; super fast! Neither PG wound up catching anything and the two flew east BVR.
If I remember correctly there were pigeons on the courthouse as I approached and when it was over there was but one. All the attacks and diving took place over the courthouse parking lot with nobody but myself paying any attention to all the drama above.
Aside from being super lucky to have witnessed two Pefa’s hunting ‘together’ I am most surprised at Milton. This is the first time I’ve ever seen him go after pigeons. It is also notable that they hunted the pigeons from the courthouse which I have not seen since the Courtney’s fledge watch and that was Truss, not Milton.
Unfortunately, everything happened so fast that I don’t even have a clue if the other Pefa was a juvenile or adult let alone banded. I hope I would have recognized if it were a juvenile but seriously, I wasn’t expecting to see two Pefa’s in my bins at the same time!
Can’t wait for tomorrow!
