Apparently there are 4 juvies!  Another fledged and landed on the glass balcony so they picked her up and are keeping her for banding before putting her back.

Toronto seems to revel in glass buildings and glass balconies.  Problem for our falcons is they don't understand glass so they try to fly through it.  We had to take two off glass balconies last week at our site - not because they were too low either, they actually stayed high and landed on upper balconies but couldn't figure out how to get through the glass to take off again.

Breaking News - New Peregrine Nest Discovered in Toronto at Yonge & Eglington and they have 3 fledglings!!!
Fabulous news, carly! ;D And I'm so glad the juvie wasn't injured and was going to be banded. I'm sure that he/she has already been released by now. And very exciting news that the nestledge has been located! :D Is that an apt. building or an office building?:-\ I couldn't really tell when I looked at the photo. Please keep us up-to-date!
