A frequent visitor!! Can you help us to ID this peregrine.
Midwest Road and Midland Ave.,, just one block north of Lawrence Ave East, on Midland Ave. Scarborough Ontario.
With thanks to a Michelle who has alerted us of a very frequent peregrine visitor that has been using the top of a telephone pole as its butcher block over the past several weeks, on a very regular basis. I was able to attend her location several times over the past two weeks and although I was personally not able to catch the mystery peregrine, it was quite obvious that this butcher block is being used quite often.
At the base of the telephone pole (located on the corner of Midwest and Midland Ave,, west side of Midland) there was no less than 5 pigeon heads, lost of other bird body parts and lots of fresh end-trails! The pigeon head count has increased since last week when I attended.
Attached to this posting is a couple of photos that Michelle was able to snap from her smart-phone. While they are long distance shots, they do confirm that her regular feathered raptor visitor is in fact a peregrine falcon.
While still un-identified, the challenge is on to see if her visitor is banded and has a known history! Ok all falcon watchers, who can get a ID on this mystery falcon?
