July 08, 2008 - Hamilton - Sheraton Hotel
Sarah Washington Reports:
Well Miles finally came home last night. He was released on the roof of the Sheraton, close to the nest ledge. He took off right away flying but not before meeting up with Daddy who was not happy to see him! A small attack was seen on the chick. Well after Miles and the other 3 chicks chatted for a bit in Falcon world, Dad seems to have relaxed with him. I feel that now he sees all 4 together and they are happy he is as well. Miles is flying well and finally had a chance to eat today for about 40 minutes or longer! This is great news!
We shall keep you posted.

July 07, 2008 - Etobicoke - Sun Life Centre
CPF Volunteer Reports:
Our Etobiicoke Sun Life Centre Peregrines are doing really well! They spend most of the morning playing and chasing each other around the sky,moving from condo roof to condo roof. They’ve also been observed chasing pigeons! One poor pigeon found himself surrounded by all 3 of them and ran for his little life! Today I saw them up in air gliding right above the street which made me nervous as heck..but it was no problem for them. They still come back to the nest ledge when it gets too hot and they’re tired. It’s nice to see them all sacked out together and happy!

Linda Woods Reports:
A spot check and to reset the camera, I had all three juvies in view. One juvie was on the east mid section of 130 Adelaide and the other two were enjoying a mid day fly around the Sheraton Hotel area.
Staff of the Club Lounge have reported the juvies do fly around the windows on a regular basis and are very vocal.
Guests of the hotel, enquire as to what type of bird they are seeing, and are very pleased to know that they are viewing juvenile Peregrine Falcons.

Linda Woods Reports:
Just by chance I happened to be walking north on Yonge St and heard a juvie screaming. I looked up and discovered that one or two of the juvies take shelter from the sun on the west side of the nest building, also using the fire escape on the building next door.
Every evening, like clock work the family gathers for the night taking up a spot on the St. James spire, or on adjacent buildings next to 18 King St.
This evening I counted at least 3 on Dundee Place and one in the air. One adult was seen on Dundee Place.

Good afternoon,
I was just outside and had 3 of the falcons flying over me putting on quite the airshow. Chasing and screaming up a storm, lol. It was nice to see they are doing so well. Couldn’t tell which ones they were but I’m pretty sure they were the babies by the way they were flying.
Just thought you’d like an update.

Resetting the camera, I spotted an adult and one juvie sitting on the north side of the Hilton letters, in the shade. They are still around and are more visable during the late afternoon and evening hours.

June 29, 2008 - Toronto - King Street
Linda Woods Reports:
Frequent scans outside my livingroom window rarely have I seen any of the juvies in the evening. Only when I walk past the King St. site, I might spot one or two of the young ones.
Tonight, a quick look out my window and I spotted all three, plus one of the adults.
Two were originally on the north-east corner of the KEH. The two then flew over to the St.James spire where a third came into view. All three sat on the spire for a few minutes, then at least one took off and headed west towards the nest building, and out of my sight. All flying very well and continue to stay together.
One adult remained on Dundee Place while the three juvies flew in the area.
