Will post photos if I can once we get permission to use them! 

Mom is all by her lonesome these days..no sign of our boys anywhere the past week and obviously we can confirm at least one is out exploring the great wide world!

Such happy news Carly.  I know we are not supposed to get attached but when you hear of one of the Peregrines showing up that you watched from eggs to fledging...it is like one of your kids have come home.  Must be even a better feeling when it is one you actually baby sat for awhile.

Just makes a warm fuzzy feeling in your heart.

Carly, that is such great news. 
I remember your tales of this little guy from last year.
How thrilling for you to know he has thrived, and may be on his way to a nesting in the next season.

McKenzie Banded May 26, 2009 Spotted
August 06, 2010 - Etobicoke - Sun Life Centre

Sue McCreadie Reports:
Since July 26 Bill and I have been following the goings on of a couple of adults peregrines who have been hanging out on the hydro towers at Brant and Ghent Streets in downtown Burlington, ON.  Yesterday I was finally able to see a band number, black band 29 over Y.  Mark Nash has advised that this is none other than McKenzie who was banded May 26, 2009 at the Etobicoke Sun Life Centre at Bloor and Islington.  The female is unbanded.
I wonder if we are going to have a new nesting pair in Burlington, Ont???
