!!! EXCITING NEWS AT MOUNT SINAI
March 31, 2010 - Toronto - Mount Sinai Hospital
Jan Chudy Reports:
I have been frequently observing two adults at Mount Sinai over the past few weeks. Sometimes they were on the south ledges and somtimes on the east ledges. Earlier today, Linda Woods advised that she was observing one of the birds from a vantage point to the east of the hospital and that it appeared to be exhibiting incubation behaviour. Through the course of the morning, I watched the bird through my telescope in First Canadian Place. At approximately 12:15 the bird was on the edge of the ledge and I am 99% certain I could see an egg towards the back of the ledge - this is the maximumn distance for my scope. I checked the view several times and still believe we have an egg. As I submit this report at 3:10, an adult is back down on the egg and the second adult is sitting on the edge of the ledge two slots to the south.

Heh..sorry Eagle was amending post then after I hit post, saw your question. Wind was the female at the Sheraton hotel a few years back. She was much loved here by all the volunteers especially Linda whose post if you read harkens back to another time when Wind chased her down the street for taking a picture of her chicks way back when...lol..poor gir, what a way to find out your lost falcon is now found!
She was one of Windwhistler's mates. WW is the two timing male who had 2 nest sites going - he was the male at both the King St nest site and the Sheraton hotel. I wasn't around then but I've heard the tales, they are legend here amongst the volunteers who were around back then.
No one knows what happened to Windwhistler..no sign of him for a few years. Tiago, the current male at Sheraton and mate of Rhea Mae is Windwhistler's son. Not sure if it's his son with Mandy or Wind. He's had a few mates ...
