My full zoom is pretty grainy, but I think it has to be an adult judging by what appears to be a white breast/throat area.  ;D

I thought it was Trey, too (but, at this point, I don't have a lot of confidence in my identifying) -- looks like his white shirtfront.

somebody's on the drain cap now.  I think it might be Trey (looks like his coloring) but it's a distance shot so I can't be sure.  But it makes me happy!  ;D

Tracy,
Did you have any more update on the group of Peregrines you took pictures of on Osborne and Jubilee area? Was wondering if you found out who they were(band #'s)and where they were nesting?

Probably the only place to get away from the kids.

Scene in St. Regis parking lot.

I know, I was thrilled to see one of our birds on the ledge, it's been so empty lately - and according to the CBC forum, there were 2 of them there about 1/2 hour ago.  ;D...Dinner's over, nice poop shot and now settled on Trey's Point.  8)   - oops you beat me to it Saorise  :P

P.S.  Someone on CBC posted that, at 6:37 local, there were two on the nest ledge . . .

Hey Ballywing, thank heavens someone's still checking the cam -- it's 7:10 now and he's still there. After a couple of nights of empty ledge, it's such a treat to see someone there again, a closeup instead of that bird in the sky!

Hmmmmmmm, coulda aimed differently S. I though I was being so very thoughtful by turning to the side. It was either spit, choke, or do the nose thing, I just had to breathe :o :o ;D

Bccs, I thought the distance was impressive -- and breathing is always a good choice -- you should keep at it (the breathing, I mean) . .

Eeeeewwwwwww!!!! Blech, I think if I tried to spit, it would get all over my pants or something  :P
Ballywing, you gotta understand -- this was more than a simple spit -- think of the projectile pellets and substitute a mouthful of water for the pellet -- yep, distance!
