A huge thank you to Linda who has trying to keep a eye on the Toronto Rogers centre peregrines. As you know, they been very difficult to get a handle on, now back to the south east ledge where they nested three years ago.
With a very deep drainage trough that runs down the centre middle length of the nest ledge it has been impossible to see what the adults have been hiding. While we know that they have been incubating an undisclosed amount of eggs, by virtue of seeing both adults, but only one at a time (and with shift changes going on at the nest ledge), it was only a matter of time before something else materialized.
Well, a week ago, Linda was down watching just at the right time, when three advanced age hatchlings were finally old enough (and actually capable to get out of the drainage trough up to the ledge where we they can actually be seen from the ground) and finally came in view!
While we were well aware of a hatch after seeing food going into the nest ledge by both parents on different occasions, we had no way of getting to view down onto the nest ledge and then down into the drainage trough to be able to see anything.
So now the best news,,, in that Linda’s visit today yielded the sight of FOUR hatchlings!! Sadly, although, three of them are ready to take flight with virtually no down, while the smallest hatchling still has about 30% down.
Oh my goodness, four ready to go ……………..
