Freddie and Voltaire Both Home
December 13, 2012 - Windsor - Ambassador Bridge
Tracy Simpson Reports:
Bruce Massey and I went on a quest on Wednesday that took us to the Windsor area for a few days. While there, we made sure to stop by the Ambassador Bridge and check in on Freddie and Voltaire on a beautiful, sunny afternoon. When we pulled up to the nest site, we initially didn’t have any birds in view and after scanning the church, we located Voltaire on a favored spire digesting a huge crop. Freddie was on the peak of the church roosting in the afternoon sun. All of a sudden, a Kestrel came bombing in and went right for the spire where Voltaire was roosting. This action took her off of her perch in a chase around the steeple of the Kess until all of a sudden, the Kestrel swooped up and into a louvered window on the side of the main spire! Looks like Windsor may have another little falcon pair at the bridge!! Freddie had taken off out of view until we spotted a group of pigeons swirling around to the north and right in the middle of the fray was Freddie. He continued to give chase and attempted to split the flock but the pigeons stayed close together. After a few minutes, Freddie gave up the chase and returned to the church landing on a spire right beside Voltaire. There the two sat for quite some time enjoying the afternoon together. It was so nice to see the pair together and to introduce Bruce to the Windsor nest site as he had never had that opportunity before.
