The pair returned about 4:30 to the ledge and I managed to snap this photo via the Osler cam.

Once again while resetting the camera, Tiago was sitting in the nest tray, while Rhea Mae was having a quick bite to eat on the “H” of the north facing letters of the Hilton.
This morning walking past the King St. nest, both adults were in view. They are seen daily in the area, not sure about the juvies. Perhaps they are around at different times.
As I approached the south side of the Hotel, I saw two peregrines in flight in the area of Bay and Richmond. I couldn’t tell if they were juvies or not.
After resetting the nest camera, I took a quick peek on the nest ledge and Tiago was there for a few minutes.
All 3 kids here this morning!! Just confirmed with my binoculars, one on the nest ledge, one the next ledge over and Perry on the roof ledge.There was no sign of mom and dad this morning yet,but I saw them yesterday. It’s the first time I’ve seen all 3 kids together for awhile, usually I see 2 at a time or 1 on the ADP sign.
On Tuesday I was out back on Aberfoyle and all of a sudden I heard a Peregrine alarm calling. It was Screech and she came flying to the building and started circling it just like mom or dad used to do and was alarming for about 5 minutes.I couldn’t figure out if someone had stepped out onto the roof or not but must have been because no other birds were visible. She was being extremely territorial though - was interesting to see and finally she calmed down and went to the nest box to stand guard. She’s huge now, massive chest - you can see it from the ground and honestly if not for the brown chest I’d swear it was mom - that’s how big she is!
Its so good to see all 3 have made it this far!

Scanning west from the 61st floor of First Canadian Place, I spotted a juvenile on the NW corner of Royal Trust Tower. As I focussed the scope, she stretched her legs and showed of her yellow and red tape - Belle! I watched her for many minutes - she truly is a beautiful bird. After approximately 10 minutes she took of NW, soaring and circling. Suddenly she appeared to start a stoop towards the south - and then it became a game - one of her siblings had arrived on the scene. I watched for the next five minutes as they chased each other, flying high and low and fast. I finally lost sight of them near Metro Hall. Whay a lovely end to the afternoon.

It was just amazing yesterday. We had storms all around us first coming in from the lake and then from the bay. Between 3 and 4 pm, the girls headed out to the end of the pier on the lake side. Barry and Bill rushed out to see the goings on. The girls were diving and chasing anything that came into their view, Gulls, Cormorants and Turns. (Photo - Leave me Alone!). They were flying just inches above the water (Photo - What do we do if we see a fish?), landing on the fence around the weather station (Photo - Nebesny on Weather Station) and on the sea wall just feet away from Bill (Photo - “Nellie on the Wall”). Things quieted down so we headed back to home base. Somewhere between 4 and 5, Mom came in from the Skyway with a pigeon and Nellie grabbed the drop. She flew over to the bridge, back under the skyway and back to try and land on the bridge. The burden became too much and she ended up on the ground, on the bay side of the Burlington pier. Nebesny landed in and stood watch well Nellie struggled with the still flopping pigeon. Eventually, she went over and helped her sister and at one point, they were both standing atop it and were sharing like good sisters (Photos - “Chew your Food” and “Feeding Time”). The rain came in so we left for home for a short break. We returned again around 6 pm and they were still very active. Dad was about yesterday (looking quite well) and he brought in two small meals, delivering both to the girls.

Waling through Nathan Phillips square, I heard the distinct sound of a juvenile screaming. Both adult and juvie were in the area of 390 Bay St. and flew towards the south side of the Sheraton and out of my view.
Window washers are out on the north side of the Hotel. The peregrines don’t appear to be bothered by the workers.

While walking south on University Ave at Edward St, I stopped to take a look at the area, I didn’t wait very long, when a peregrine came into view from the west side of Mt.Sinai Hospital flying south towards the east side of University. It landed on the north- west corner of the grey building on the north east corner of Edward and University. Peregrines have been seen on the same corner and building in years past. Not sure if it is a Sheraton bird or one from the Four Seasons.
