Thought I would share these pictures, taken by a co-worker of mine. We work at the “Thales Building”, 105 Moatfield Drive. The pictures were taken from inside the 9th floor.
I hear the birds calling at least twice a day now, and always stop and see if I can spot them flying by. 
Best Regards,
Ivan MacKenzie.

Kathy Reports:
Majesty, the daughter of Ponce -Kingsley and Victoria, born here at King Street in 2002 and now nesting in Flint, Michigan recently had a foot injury. She and Barry were busy raising 2 eyases when students noticed she had a serious foot injury, her leg had started to swell and her condition seemed to be deteriorating! A bold move was made to catch her and as you will see in this video they did and were able to treat her and return her to her offspring the very same day!
Thank you to our good friends at CMNH for alerting me to this story and thanks to the folks in Flint for saving her life so that she may carry on with her legacy . Links to video of the capture and links to CMNH with details follow:

Tracy Simpson Reports:
We just received word from a friend of Big Frank’s that a juvenile peregrine with the band number 24 X and green tape was seen at Bluffer’s Park this past week feasting on a juvenile gull. After some investigation, Frank and I identified the bird as Sunshine who was hatched at the Toronto Downtown Sheraton Hotel this past spring. We will be making contact with the photographer to see if we can post the pictures taken on our website so please check back!! Good going Sunshine!!

Doug Garbutt Reports:
July 23rd was the last confirmed sighting of a juvie here. The parents are still seen every day. In fact the female we call Trillium is in the box for at least 4 hours every day. I think she finds it cooler in this heat wave that we have been experiencing. We hope that both young ones have learned to hunt & fend for themselves & perhaps one day we will hear from a falcon watcher somewhere that they have a family of their own .

Pics of Baby Striker from Scarborough YPG Building, June 29
Sorry for the late posting, as there was many e-mail that got lost in the volume of incomming e-mail during the various fledge watches. There is many more to come!
These are pics of Striker who had flown down to the second floor and was calling to Mom and Dad for some help. The last picture is of Myself and 2 others holding the fledglings . I am actually holding striker 2 weeks before I shot these pics. **(Tim is on the left).

CPF Postmaster Reports:
Thursday July 28th - 2011 - AM Watch report:
When I arrived Courtney was visible on the roof looking rather damp. No sign of the adults at 7am.
After 7:30am, Courtney took two short flights around rooftop after falling off an antenna while stretching.
About 8:30am Milton arrived with a small kill, and as usual he left it for Courtney, and retired to a lower ledge. Truss arrived very shortly after the male and took up a watch position on an antenna. Then they all settled in.
Breakfast time for Me now.

July 27, 2011 - Brampton - Courthouse
CPF Postmaster Reports:
Wednesday July 27th - 2011 - PM Evening Watch report:
When I arrived at the Courthouse around 6:30pm, Courtney was sitting on the ledge above where we released her before, while her parents perched across on the opposite ledge. She looked to be eating, along with Truss.
Quarter after seven, Mom started screeching in an attempt to coax Courtney into the air, flying to her then back to her own perch. After giving up around 7:30, she circled the building before taking off for a hunt. Truss returned with food for Courtney, and proceeded to go after poor Milton who was eating! Milton sought shelter by Courtney, but found no respite as he was chased off the ledge by his own daughter (leaving his food behind).
Ten after eight Courtney flew to the roof, circling around and approaching from the south. Mom followed while Dad took his food to the second ledge up from the library. He looked quite nervous as he ate, glancing over to where mother or daughter might come around every bite! It was not long before baby took wing again, doing a circuit around the building and landing on an antennae, nearly crashing into
Truss who was previously sitting on it. Another flight took Courtney to the ledge her parents had been sitting on when I arrived, where she proceeded to walk up and down, bobbing her head restlessly. She flew from the ledge before attempting to fly back up to it and failing, and instead landed on the south-facing ledge where she had been previously released around nine.
When we finally left, both Truss and Courtney were still somewhat alert, but looked to be tucking in for the night. Milton had flown off north somewhere, as is usual for him.

Good news to report. Mom and baby are back. Mom killed a pigeon and was preparing it when Milton returned with a kill and delivered it whole and unprepared to Courtney. Pics to come
Finally I got some photos of the elusive American kestrels living, (and producing) at the courthouse!. The rest of the Pefa pics are all from between 3-4pm. I had to leave before Truss finished prepping the pigeon. Good light. Would have been a nice shot. Darn!
