An update on the Sheraton and Mount Sinai nests today:

Jan Chudy Reports:

Firstly, I apologize for the delay in this posting.  I did try a couple of weeks ago but my report went in to the ether!  Since mid-December I have frequently seen two adults on either the south Mount Sinai ledges or the east ledges.  Frequently, I had at the same time one adult on the Sheraton ledge - not enough definitive proof to say we have two full sites between the Sheraton and Mount Sinai.  Then, the big break - on January 12, two adults were on the south Mount Sinai ledges and two adults were on the Sheraton nest ledge.  Since then, I have had this view several times.  More recently, On January 29, all four were in view - two on the south Mount Sinai ledges and two on the Sheraton ledge.  Today, February 11 at 10:15, all four adults are in view again - two on the south Mount Sinai louvers and two on the Sheraton ledge.

Today one adult visited the Sheraton nest:

On the standpipe:



He/she stayed until it was almost dark:

An Early Christmas Present at the Sheraton!
December 23, 2009 - Toronto - Sheraton Centre
Jan Chudy Reports:
Both adults spent a great part of the day together either on the nest ledge or around the area.  It was heart-warming to see them together.  As I write this shortly after noon on Christmas Eve, they are both together again.  One in the nest box and one on a nearby ledge.

Merry Christmas, Everyone.

I found both Rhea Mae and Tiago at the nest today:

One adult at the nest tray this afternoon - Rhea Mae?

[Alison]

Someone was on the standpipe for a while this afternoon. From the size, perhaps Rhea Mae:

I love the story of Liberty "on the chaise lounge without a towel"!  (LOL) All kidding aside, I'm glad to hear that she's okay!

[Alison]

I can't tell if this is Rhea Mae or Tiago:

One of the adults was at the Sheraton nest today. I thought at first they were both there, then I realized the other cam was stuck - the falcon didn't move.

I'm not sure, but I think this looks like Tiago:

[Pchemist]

ooh, I love the phrase "in a good hissy mood."

I've been there.

I don't know why this thread is so far behind.

First Rescue and Release

June 17, 2009 - Toronto - Sheraton Centre

Linda Woods Reports:

A Great Big THANK -YOU to the Sheraton Centre Hotel Pool Staff person  and Security Staff for assisting  in the recovery of ”Liberty”.

Liberty, confirmed by her leg bands, was found in the pool area on one of the chaise lounges without a towel.  Pool personal notified hotel security of this fashion faux pas. Security came to the rescue and safely secured the area and gently placed the 47day old female into the animal carrier.

Liberty took her first flight yesterday morning at 09:15 hours and appeared to be doing very well. Jan had good view of her as she took off and was very pleased of how well she flew.  Today, Harry, Jan, Marion and Bruce could only confirm that we had a count of three juvies throughout the day.

With the constant rain that moved into the area, it was difficult to see the juveniles on the tall structures and the watch was closed for the day. Three were confirmed in view at that time. Hopefully this will be the fourth.

On examination, by Bruce and myself, Liberty was found to be free of any signs of trauma and was in a good hissy mood.

She was returned to the nest ledge at around 22:00 hours and quickly settled in the dark.
 
Canadian Peregrine Foundation, and the dedicated group of peregrine followers from Rochester, New York ( who named Liberty ) would like to thank the hotel staff for the bird’s safe recovery.

Kudo’s for a job well done. Thanks. Thanks Bruce for coming all the way back to release her.
