In other news...I witnessed mating at our nest site today :-\ Jack showed up and spent the day, lots of flying around and chupping and all that stuff.

Well despite having last reported that Jack was here...he's now not been here since last Monday morning when he was heard chupping to Angel. He has been at TR nest site daily and Mathew has observed that mating season has begun over there in ernest.
Angel has been out the past week on top of the condos looking out towards the lake and I have heard some chupping from her but I'm not sure if she's calling for him or she's trying to let it be known that she's available. Elsewhere at Sheraton and King nest sites, both pairs have been observed bowing to each other and doing nestbox maintenance but nothing here as of yet which is out of the ordinary for this site.

Jack is outside right now flying around and chupping away to Angel. She's just watching him from the web cam...third time I've spotted him this week. No aerial displays yet but he's flying back and forth and gliding to the nest box and chupping...wish I could speak Peregrine!!

Well, he is a hustler that is for sure, but maybe he prefers Angel. :)
I have my fingers crossed as this has always been a good site and if does to want to be faithful ;) ;) hopefully he gives another guy a chance :)

2010 NESTING SEASON
Had a Jack sighting today. As usual he comes in with a flourish - guy has style, you gotta give him that. He swoops in and rustles up all the pigeons and then catches one and glides in to present it to Angel...show off :P
He didn't hang around long that I could see. Mathew says he was MIA there most of the weekend. I joked that perhaps he's trying for a third site...wonder if the William Osler male is still there????!!!
The powers that be are going to try and get the cam up earlier this year in anticipation of...well we don't know. Possibly dual nest sites, new male, who knows ...but with the cam up we can at least be ready :-\
