ON / Hamilton - Sheraton Hotel - 2008-21
Elaine L:
Here is the latest update from the Hamilton folks. Banding will take place on Thursday.
Saturday, May 26, 2012 - After hearing on the Peregrine chat line that the chicks at the Burlington Skyway Bridge and the Toronto Sheraton Hotel were banded a few days ago, our youngsters wanted to know if they were being left out. Not at all. This Thursday, May 31, at approximately 9AM they are going to have visitors. Organized by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, a team of climbers and biologists will carry out an operation involving a descent to the nest ledge, placing the chicks in a special carrying case, raising them to the roof and inside for weighing, gendering, banding and naming. They will then be brought back to the ledge. If still present - it was this morning - the unhatched egg will also be brought back for analysis. So, if this Thursday you see a big pair of feet in the camera view or someone sitting on the ledge, it will be part of that day's activities. The photo at left was taken at 10:11 today. The chicks are going to have to start watching that they don't bump their heads on the brickwork!

Wow, you can sure see the pip in the egg now. Maybe for first time, I will see a falcon hatch!
