The Peregrine Chick:

Just curious. :-\

Nothing has been done at the site - but it isn't a common occurrence - it has happened twice in 35 years - first time the chimney was still in operation - no it didn't get toasted, the chimney was for heating so turned off and cleaned in the summer - the second time was with Beatrix a few days after she fledged. I send an email around to folks who have had contacts with the peregrines in the past when they start fledging so they can check places like that - so far no reports.
A more fascinating one was the chick that got caught in a paint booth exhaust (about 18 inches wide) on the top of the old Eaton's building (now MTS Centre). The paint booth wasn't used any more but an employee on the floor below heard something odd and called us. We went to check the roof and couldn't find anything. Then just as we were leaving we walk past this exhaust (we had no idea what it was) we heard a little scratching. No idea how the bird got in there but it did. Heck can't even remember who that was now or who I was with but I seem to remember another set of hands ... going to have to do a little research now ....

I haven't see the adults at all but that isn't unusual - they tend to fly outside of camera range unless they are coming the nestbox. It is warm outside, so I suspect everyone has found a perch to wait until it is cooler. That is what they tend to do at least. Chick might make her way back up to the nestbox this evening or tomorrow if she is okay and so inclined. She's out there on her own which is, funnily enough, just as boring as hanging out in the nestbox of chicks. No reports yet today but if I hear anything or see anything on camera, will post here.

Geez it's all too fast - they don't even have names yet! :-\
