!!! Sad news to report

November 05, 2015 - Stoney Creek

Marion Nash Reports:

I got a call yesterday from Rita Lampman about a dead peregrine found in Caistor Centre Niagara.

Rita sent me the band information and photos of the bird and I am sad to report that its Stoney Canadian Recovery band number B over 05 produced at the Vinemount Quarry Stoney Creek in 2014.

The bird looked healthy and there was no sign of injury so I assume he collided with something.

The Ontario MNRF will be sending someone out to pick up the bird from Rita.

!!! Windsor Nest Tray Re-Installed

November 05, 2015 - Windsor - Ambassador Bridge

Marion Nash Reports:

With thanks to TCI Titan Contracting Inc for a lift to the nest ledge the Windsor nest tray was placed back on the nest ledge. One of CPF’s Windsor fledge watch team members Cathy Greenwell cleaned the nest tray, replaced the screen in the bottom and provided new pea gravel for the tray before it was returned to the ledge.

Thank you Cathy and Titan!

We are looking forward to a successful nesting season this spring.
