The Peregrine Chick:
Just as a note, I contacted CPF and sent them information on our experiences in 2009 at their request.  Glad it worked out so well for them, will be interestng to see how Quest and Kendal make out now that they have a better "base" of operations.

windwolvz:
A new post is up on the CPF website for the Don Mills location detailing recent events there.  Nest tray is installed and Quest has claimed it.

Quest Lays Her First Egg
April 19, 2011 - Toronto - Don Mills

Tracy Simpson Reports:
An exuberant Donna Hayes called our head office this afternoon to let us know that Quest’s first egg has appeared!  This is fantastic news and met with great fanfare from our friends at Harlequin Enterprises.  We await the hopeful arrival of more eggs to come and watch as these two birds come together to raise their first family.  Our gracious thanks go out to the staff at Harlequin Enterprises Ltd. for allowing CPF staff access to monitor these birds.  For updates, please check back on the new Don Mills location page

Falcons find high-flying (Harlequin) romance
Jayne Poisson, Toronto Sun - 17 April 2011

On the 5th storey ledge of a nondescript office tower, smack in the centre of North York, a pair of rare peregrine falcons have fallen in love.

Quest — a pretty American from Rochester, N.Y., and Kendal, a local boy born across from Toronto's King Edward hotel — have been making scrapes, the peregrine equivalent of a nest for over a week now.

It's an exciting time for avid falcon watchers — of which there are many — who expect adorable babies any day.

And here's the kicker. The first person to spot the regal birds, with their black-helmeted heads and sharply hooked beaks, was the CEO and publisher of the largest producer of romance books on the planet. The falcons have been courting one another directly across from the world headquarters of Harlequin Enterprises on Duncan Mill Rd.

“They’ve been putting on quite a display of aerial acrobatics, spins and dives — high-altitude flirting,” said CEO Donna Hayes, who admits the falcons have been a distraction of late. They've become the most popular couple in the office, even beating out steamy, loin-quivering characters in Harlequin novels like How to Lasso a Cowboy and, the chiseled-abs jacketed The Pleasure Garden.
