Alison:
This is such sad news about the eggs. It is even worse if there is no sign of either female around the nest area. Do we know who the falcons are at this nest?

Oh my god...just posted!!

!!! Tragic news - the eggs are gone!
April 08, 2010 - Etobicoke - William Osler

CPF Postmaster Reports:
We have just received tragic news that as of this mornings check of the nest via the small peep-hole, that both of the newly laid eggs are gone and no longer in the nest tray. While we have not seen any recent evidence of additional squabbling going on with the two adult females that were embraced in a bitter battle over the territory and nest ledge two weeks ago, we know that things can change and happen very quickly when these fights brake out. This would not be the first time that we have seen eggs trampled & crushed by two squabbling peregrines on the nest ledge.
In addition to this tragic news, it is also being reported that there has been no recent sightings of any female being seen on territory.
It is worth noting that access to the nest ledge is both under lock and key and restricted.

Bruce Massey Reports:

FYI , Over the last month or so I had the occasion to briefly go by Osler Hospital.  There was  at least 1 PeFa in attendance, couldn’t tell if Male or Female (Driving) and it was on the North Sign.  Have been by Yellow Pages twice ( Mid November - Female In attendance and end of November- Male in attendance).  As with the North York pair I hadn’t seen the Female in a month or so, until the end of the Month were I saw a Female just North of Finch. and the Male since the middle of November.  Finally I was at Bell Building area and had a male sitting on the Corner of the Building by the Nest Box.

Thanx Bruce

My goodness, the joy and tenderness she feels for these fostered chicks and their new parents is so evident in her writing.  She IS a great writer!  Thanks for the links, Carly.
