4 Eggs!!!!

April 03, 2023 - Toronto - Don Mills and Eglinton - Amexon

Cathy Kerr Reports:

It’s 4 eggs for Holden and Nagata!!! I’ve been watching our resident pair all winter (they liked to perch on the building I work in, so I saw them most mornings when I arrived).  As they are unbanded, there is no way of definitely IDing them, but as I’ve seen them since last summer, I’m fairly confident it’s the same pair. There has been lots of activity at the building, with the Sony sign coming down (so sad… All the peregrines at this site have loved that sign!) and then the window washer was there for awhile, I was a touch worried that this relatively new pair might be spooked off, but no, they just waited.  I saw mating over 10 days ago and then observed just one peregrine at a time shortly after. And as I saw an exchange last Thursday, I knew I had to get up there to confirm… And last night, I got my son to come with me and we found 4 eggs!! They both spotted us immediately and told us in no uncertain terms to leave.. And we did. Hatch watch will start in about 3 weeks… Can’t wait!

Goodbye Mystery

March 30, 2023 - Toronto - Don Mills

Cathy Kerr Reports:

Before the season starts, I just want to say a proper goodbye to another one of our resident peregrines, Mystery. He was a great mate to Quest since 2016. They had 22 successful hatches and fledges(tho some were lost after). He was a great Dad, taught his young well, looked out for them, fed them and was always on the alert! He was famous for his many, many alarm calls, which his young picked up quickly and were known to join in on the calls lol. I loved watching their interactions… He would try so hard to get egg time and then try to look after or feed the kids but Quest would only give him small amounts of time… It was so funny and cute. He will be missed

Monday, March 27, 2023 - At 7:59

March 28, 2023 - Hamilton - Sheraton Hotel

Marion Nash Reports:

This morning McKeever laid her fourth egg of the season, with our camera catching a great view as it happened. A half hour later, Judson came in to take over incubation duties from her, and we got a clear look at all four eggs. You can see the color differences between the new egg and the older ones, which have picked up a coating of dust. It is possible that McKeever may lay one more egg. We have had five eggs before, but we have never had all five hatch. So, with good weather and close attention from McKeever and Judson, we have high hopes for seeing four tiny peregrine chicks at the beginning of May.

March 26th. Update on Midnight and Renegade Mississauga MEC.

March 26, 2023 - Mississauga - Executive Centre

Marion Nash Reports:

Because the camera is still down we are watching the old fashion way for now. We hope to have the camera up in a few days.
Bruce was out to the site today and reports seeing the changeover of incubation duties and based on what he had seen the last time he was there eggs may have been laid sometime on the last 7 days.
Hopefully we get the camera images up soon.

March 28th 2023 update from Bloor Islington Place Nest.

March 28, 2023 - Etobicoke - Sun Life Centre

Marion Nash Reports:

Looks Romeo hatched at the Etobicoke Hospital in 2017 is trying to move in. So who will win Romeo or Lucky.
Looks like 2 new birds on the nest. Male is Y33 with metal band, female unbanded (I’m naming her Anne, after my wife). There were 3 birds in the area with lots of noise & wonder if Lucky is trying to move back in.
Regards,
Roger

Love is in the air!

- Kitchener - CTV-Bell Media Tower

Lisa Reh Reports:

Two peregrines were spotted on the tower today. One in the box, one on top rail. They each did several swoops and swirls around the hospital. Finally, they joined each other on the top rail above the nest box. CTV also confirmed on March 21 that the falcons have returned to the nest box!
