Rockette Our 2020 Windsor Ambassador Bridge fledgling was captured Sunday October 11th by Bob Hall-Brooks and Chip Ogglesby at the Lake banding station at Holiday Beach. She was healthy and has gained 59 grams since banding. She was then released to continue her fall migration.
The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) has posted a falconry proposal for public comment on the Environmental Registry of Ontario (ERO 019-1806). The proposal will expand the falconry wild take by eliminating the draw and adding goshawks.
They have already approved the take of one of the following species, Red Tailed hawk, Cooper’s Hawk, Sharp Shinned Hawk and Merlin by Ontario falconers.
CPF does not agree with the take of any wild raptor regardless of species status wildlife should not be taken from the wild for sport. If you feel the same as we do please, please make your opinion and comments know by responding to the OMNRF public comment registry before October 8th 2020 deadline.
Lets keep our wild birds of prey flying free as they were meant to be! please share this information to your friends.
You can read and respond to the proposal here: https://ero.ontario.ca/notice/019-1806
Well it looks like Marriott has found a travel companion I hope;) Here is an update sent in yesterday. Thanks Terri for the report and a big thank you to Ron for the beautiful photos.
Hi Marion
This is Terri Martin
I am requesting an ID on a band Peregrine Falcon I saw at Halls Road in Ajax on August 21 2020
The band is on the left leg and it is all black the letter are 06 AW on the other leg is a piece of yellow tape.
There are two falcons nesting there and have been hunting the gulls and ducks. The other Falcon is not banded.
I am sending you a picture of the Falcons and would love to know who the banded Falcon is and where he came from.
I worked at the nuclear station in pickering and retired in 2019 last year.
I hope they are still going strong with the falcon program. I was involved in the banding of the falcons. It was always so exciting.
Hope you are doing well.
My boyfriend Ron Warner he took lthe pictures and says you can post the pictures if you like.
The falcons both look quite young.
Mariott was seen and photographed at Cranberry Marsh Whitby on Thursday Aug 20 2020. Looks like a popular spot for our juveniles this year. Here is hoping he has a safe and successful migration south.
Thanks to Greg Dudley for sending this report and for his fantastic photo.
Sadly, I have bad news about the status of the Scarborough nest site as of my visit this afternoon.. Again a big thank you to Petra security for spending the time with me today as we meticulously checked all eight ledges for any evidence of a hatch.
The first clutch of three eggs still remains, still abandoned, and now quite sun-bleached almost pure white and look more like white chicken eggs. And to be very clear,, there are NO chickens here!
As we walked around the entire upper elevation of the building to check each of the eight ledge pockets, there was absolutely no visible evidence or sign of any “recent” peregrine activity,, all lacking the typical body-part remains of left-over prey or any fresh blood staining on any of the upper leading retaining wall ledges or ledge pockets. This along with the fact that there was no evidence of any fresh white-wash tells a story in itself! A strong indication that there has been no “recent” peregrine activity.
As we finally worked our way around to the ledge that has the more recent “second clutch of 4 eggs”, we quite expected to be greeted by at least the resident adult female, (which has been Linn from Rochester NY all these years), who was clearly identified during my last visit via her leg bands,, but sadly did not happen. Never have I NOT been “greeted” by Linn as she is usually VERY AGRESSIVE and always “IN MY FACE” during my visits over the years. Linn is NOT shy to express her displeasure,, and over the past years has become a “FULL CONTACT” gal!!!
Unfortunately, the 4 eggs in this second clutch of eggs remain unattended and have not hatched as of this date. They now remain more than 36 days old it would appear that they too have now been abandoned.
After more than 35 minutes on-site, we did not see a single peregrine! 
I will return one last time next week to re-confirm my observations and conclusion.

Spot check : Toronto /Don Mills /Amexon : I was delighted to see all three juvies, first I saw all three having their afternoon siesta, from my office, on the sign at 250. Then I dropped by after work and found all three on the nest ledge! Rey had food and plucked and ate it while the other two watched. They all look great, nice to see all three hanging out together ❤️
