Cathy Kerr Reports:

Seeing less and less of the kids and more of Jenna and Chester! Haven’t positively id’d Kepler for a while now… Maybe he’s gone… Maybe not lol. But have seen Tardis! She’s doing great… Last week she caught her dinner, right in front of me! It was just shy of six weeks since she was in that tree!! Amazing how fast they grow and learn… Way to go Tardis

Attaching some pics from the last week or so….

Quin in rehab

September 12, 2019 - Toronto - Sheraton Centre

Marion Nash Reports:

On August 20th, Rochester Animal services picked a young peregrine falcon and brought it to a local vet/rehabilitator. The rehab facility has contacted me and provided me with the auxiliary band number (Black Band D/62). They tried to report the band, but have not received a response, but based on the information on your site, I believe this may be one of the young from the Sheraton Centre (Quinn).

Based on the X-rays, there didn’t appear to be any broken bones, just some bruising. The falcon seems to be doing very well, both eating and flying. It is being transferred to a facility with a larger flight facility so that it can strengthen its flight and be tested for release. If all goes well, it should be released relatively soon. I will let you know how it goes.

Cheers,
Jenny

Doah on her way but some think she is going the wrong way

Marion Nash Reports:

Z70, from Duncan Mill Rd. was caught by some banders in Innisfil this morning. She weighed 1009 grams. Although she is north many of the females seem to head north then west ending up in places like Michigan while the boys head out across Lake Ontario.

Tardis and Kepler are still around and doing great! I see them often… They are hanging around together, today I walked out of Forresters and heard that juvie cry, looked up and saw one flying around the building, calling then chase his sister off the letter and settle on it himself, yep Kepler! Tardis tried to tease him off, failed and flew to ICICI… Then back and Kepler finally took the bait and they were off! So fun to watch… How much longer? Who knows… Late hatch so I hope to see them for a bit more.
