2009 NESTING SEASON
Frank tells me that they hope to have the webcams in Toronto up and working within the next 2 weeks.
Angel and Marco are in full 'romance' mode, lots of bonding stuff going on and she was pretty much velcroed to the nest box last week while he brought her food. This week she's been out flying and hunting alot more and I've barely seen him at all so not sure what point they are at now. I haven't witnessed mating personally but given how close they are, I've no doubt it is going on ;)
P.S.: Forgot to add, the CPF will be at the Sportsman Show starting today until Sunday down at Exhibition Place if any of you are in the area and would like to see the birds up close, here is your chance!

I just found the link Maggie about Linn! Isn't that fabulous!! More of Mariah's offspring in the city! She produces such strong offspring, this can only be good for the local population to have her genes sprinkled around ;)
And my pair was outside today, I checked on them first thing after yesterday's cold, snowy weather and there they were..mom in the nest box and dad in the cam looking as if they were on the beach instead of a cold ledge in the north!

Great news, Carly. 8) Glad that they are still hanging around :) It looks like some of the other Toronto residents are still around too, or at least were last weekend. Mathew Rossi reported the residential pair were sighted at the ledge, and exciting news via Rochester. The CPA reported to them that Linn (Rochester 2007) has been positively identified at the hack box site and has a banded male with her that they haven't been able to identify yet Let's hope that this means more chicks in Toronto next year!
