North York Pair Still Present and Active

March 30, 2013 - North York - Nest

Bruce Massey Reports:

Over the past several years the pair that has been hanging around Mel Lastman Square has appeared to have made several nesting attempts that did not end up in hatchlings for them.  This year the pair are back trying and are now focussing their attention on the Invesco buidling at the northeast corner of Mel Lastman Sq.  The female spends much of her time at the top of the bell tower and the male prefers to roost on a tall building across the street.  As I watched the pair last weekend, the male flew off on a hunt and returned with a prize for his lady.  She flew up to the north side of the RBC building and perched on the sign eating away.  Both birds appear to have an interest in the Invesco building on the south face where a few ledges might be available for this year’s eggs.  Copulation is happening several times a day and so eggs will soon follow.  Last year the pair was an unbanded male and an unnamed female banded black 75 over green U from Buffalo, New York.  I will continue to try and confirm their identities and keep you updated on their progress.
