carly, does this mean that the male fledged before they could band him? ???

Good thing I didn't post last week's news..  ::)

The dad is Hurricane as always and seems O'Connor the female is still the reigning queen here!  Sadly this site is not monitored regularly - kind of like the Ottawa site so you'll understand my comment there last night!

So looks like all's well that ends well here now!  I'm thrilled these two finally have offspring of their own.  Last year they were given fosters from the Mississauga site as their nest had failed.

Confusing at its best, but still good news never the less! Now 3 eggs in the nest tray
June 01, 2010 - Etobicoke - William Osler

CPF Postmaster Reports:
We have just received updated news from William Osler Health Care Centre that their resident female (who ever she is these days) is currently incubating three eggs!! This is going to very interesting indeed!
After all of the fighting and squabbling going on out at this nest site over the nest ledge itself, we are at a loss now as to who the resident female now is. Unbelievably, the same resident male of 5 years,, “Hurricane” - (produced at the Toronto Sheraton hotel) is still there and has been dealing with all of the squabbling females. I guess your gotta think that all of these girls fighting for his attention must bolster his ego just a bit!
Stay tuned………..

Good news for a change :-* :-*

2 Eggs, both adults in full incubation mode!
May 03, 2010 - Etobicoke - William Osler

CPF Postmaster Reports:
With many thanks to Bruce, three hours of observations paid off this morning as he was able to confirm the hospitals report of two more eggs in the nest tray being incubated and tended to by both adults.
Bruce was able to confirm the the resident male is still Hurricane, the little male that was produced at the Toronto Sheraton Hotel back in 2004 and showed up at the William Osler Hospital in 2007. He has been the territorial resident at this nest site ever since. His female mate dawns a Black over green band - (still yet to be identified) and a purple coloured USFW band. Bruce witnessed a changing of the guard at approx. 11am and it appears that both adults are in fact sharing the incubating duties.
Stay tuned………….
