Beautiful photos of a gorgeous Peregrine. So sad about Gunner. :( :'(

It's an interesting day today, lots of different birds starting the migration trip and are passing overhead. Angel and Marco are both by the nest cam today looking very alert and there is always one of them by the nest every time I've checked..not usual to see them so close together so often outside of mating/breeding season.
Then I noticed 6 red tailed hawks sitting over on a very high hydro cable..at first I thought I was seeing things but I went up closer and could clearly see they were hawks. I'm guessing they may be ever more vigilant in the next weeks with all the birds heading eastwards.
*Our offices are in the west end of the city but near the lake and this area is very green compared to the downtown area so we see alot of birds here that you normally wouldn't see or notice in the city core. I'm guessing they follow the lake area to head east which is why I can see red tail hawks at work!! I've never seen 6 together before, 1 or 2 flying by and that's usually because Angel will start alarming if one flys over her ledge..lol..then I notice!!
Alison:
Carly, thank you for the good news about Screech at Etobicoke! I am so glad you saw her, and that she looks good and is eating well.
Alison:
I'm glad you posted this, Carly - I just came over here to post the same info. It is especially sad to lose Gunner since he was the only chick who hatched this year, and he had been doing so well. He was an extremely handsome little juvie. :'(
A few pics of Gunner:

I know we don't have a post for Port Colbourne but the sole juvie there, little Gunner was put down the CPF site says :'( :'(. He was the son of Millie and Freedom (one of Mariah's kids). Apparently he colided with either a car or structure and severly damaged one of his wings so they had to put him down. *sigh* Such a bad summer for the little boy peregrines.
Although I'm happy the females continue to thrive, it saddens me that we keep losing so many males - that means more nest box competition which is not good.
