Eggs for Quest & Mystery?

March 30, 2022 - Toronto - Don Mills

Cathy Kerr Reports:
News from Don Mills: I’ve been checking as much as possible on this site…and I am happy to report that I see signs of eggs there!  As we cannot see into the nest box, there is no way of saying for sure how many (or if any)eggs there are, so we have to go by Quest and Mysterys behavior. I’ve seen a peregrine down in the box starting from last week.  They’ve been out as well,  as they would between laying the eggs, and trying to keep the hatches as close together as possible.  Today I arrived to find one peregrine on the corner of the old harlequin building and one in the nest box. I barely had my camera out when out came Mystery from the box, he flew out, around and then mated with Quest! So eggs not done yet I guess! Fingers crossed for success again this year for our resident couple! Stay tuned…
Pictures aren’t great..weather was all over the place today
