Hopper has been spotted!!!

September 21, 2021 - Toronto - Don Mills and Eglinton - Amexon

Cathy Kerr Reports:

Exciting news! Hopper, Don Mills /Amexon, DOB May 2,2020, was photographed by not one but two photographers in  Burlington!!!  Hopper was banded male as was very small at banding day but Hopper fledged late for a male(42 days) and by my observations and pictures with the two female siblings, Hopper was either the biggest male I’d seen or he was a she! So I am thrilled Hopper is back not only might we be able to confirm either way but also Hopper is from the last brood of the beautiful Jenna(who passed away this spring) and her mate Chester. I sure hope that Hopper settles there (2 peregrines were seen there) and raises a family! Many thanks to Joel Marshall and Chris White for their amazing pictures and for sharing them with us! I added Hoppers banding pic and one with Hopper’s sisters after fledge.
