May 16, 2015 - Etobicoke - William Osler
Bruce Massey Reports:
I stopped by at William Osler for a site check as Hurricane and Chessie were due for a hatch. I went up with security to check the monitor in the mechanical room and I got lucky. A shift of position by the female revealed the first fluffy chick under her wing. I had only one in view so this could be the first. Congratulations to William Osler!

Doug Garbutt Reports:
This morning we noticed that there was only 1 egg in the scrape. I assume the other one was consumed.

We have been watching Rhea Mae closely as her posture over the eggs had changed the day before yesterday indicating activity beneath her. This morning you can clearly see the discarded shell from her first hatch in the camera view. Congratulations Toronto Sheraton!!!

May 14, 2015 - Toronto - King Street
Linda Woods Reports:
I walked by earlier and did not see Stormin or Erin. At 7p.m. an adult flew out of the west facing ledges and over to the roof of 100 Yonge St and out of view. Could not get a sight line on this roof top. Back to the corner of Adelaide and Yonge and found Stormin on the east side of a near by roof top . Erin is not in view. I guess she’s sitting somewhere near by, but just out of our view.

May 14, 2015 - Toronto - Mount Sinai Hospital
Linda Woods Reports:
In all the years I’ve been watching Toronto Peregrines, I’ve never seen them make a direct and successful hunt for prey, until today.
Stopped by Mt.Sinai to check on Hunter and Seven. All was quiet until around 11:30a.m. Hunter flew east along Gerrard Street towards Bay St. He made contact with a small bird, probably a sparrow. Snatched it out of the air and carried it back towards Mt. Sinai. Seven then appeared on the 6th ledge and flew towards the area where Hunter had the prey. She grabbed the food and headed to the south area Mt. Sinai. Hunter then flew into the 6th ledge and disappeared out of my view.
Incubation continues for the single egg.
