I wonder why they haven't posted it then and I hope they let the people down there know - if indeed it was him.
As for the residential male, all I know is that he was taken to an 'Owl' centre. We don't have a 'raptor' rehabilitation centre here I was told. Not one that specializes in them anyway so they tend to get sent somewhere else to be cared for.

Perry from Toledo
I was just going through posts on the Rochester board, and found this post from Frank Butson on August 21.
Re: Tornadoes reported across southern Ontario 08-20-2009
I just spoke with Mark Nash the Canadian Peregrine Foundation boss(well his wife lets him think so at least) and we have had one badly injured Peregrine which MNR has told us of. We are trying to find out its identity it is black over green c over 51. From what I can ascertain,he could be a bird from Toledo Ohio,from 2007 named Perry from the Commodore Perry Motor Inn.If anyone knows for sure if their birds were black/green let me know. Im abit unclear on that. Our barns where we keep our educational birds at Kortright Centre at the Canadian Peregrine Foundation Raptor Centre,is very near the area that was badly hit by the tornados. Fortunately,Tracy Simpson,our 'Raptor Mom" was there through the whole event. She was well prepared to evacuate the birds,but it was not necessary. All birds were moved to outdoor pens,incase the roof of the indoor area was torn off,our fear was the birds would get sucked up with it. Tracy said the roof "breathed abit" but it held strong,so thankfully all of our birds,the barns and oh ya Tracy are fine.
This is the band number I had mentioned yesterday, so this is indeed Perry from the Commodore Perry Inn, born 2007. :'(

It was the MNR that picked him up and they don't give much away - we still can't find out how the residential male is doing either. Had it been CPF they would have posted it. Sorry Alison, I will try to find out for you.
Angel's talon seemed okay today from what I could see.

Thanks, Carly. I'd really like to know what happened to Perry. Do we know where the residential male is - is he at a clinic or a rehab centre? If so, we could always call them and ask how he is doing.
It does sound as if Angel has an injury to her talon. I'm glad she seems to be doing better. The falcons shouldn't have to put up with planes flying so close to their nest.

And yes I think it was Jack I saw..unfortunately I couldnt see if he had bands or not, both of them had their backs to me and their heads were going back and forth as the jets went by. I have never seen adult falcons afraid before.
You honestly had to have heard and seen the planes ...they came right over the nest ... people were actually calling our security department because they didn't announce this was happening and as you can imagine..jets racing towards a high rise post 9/11 and everyone's imagination went wild. Everyone in the building stopped working and either ran to the windows or outside. These are fighter jets they put on a show with at the exhibition here this weekend. They sound like rockets and they fly awfully fast so naturally the noise is insane - you can't hear yourself think when they go overhead. The pigeons and blackbirds were going insane - they were so upset, they started flying in circles up and down. It was quite surreal. They apparently are going to 'practice' again tomorrow so I'll be out monitoring the falcons again.
Angel's talon seemed okay today from what I could see. I wonder if when she was diving bombing that huge bird that seemed immovable last week if she might have bruised herself. During fledge watch this year we noticed that she actually had trouble landing and slipped on the glass on the building which is not like her at all... That weird landing I saw the other day was only the second time I've ever seen her have any issues with a landing so I'm keeping an eye on her. It may be nothing...I'm assuming birds have off days as well.

In other news a young 2 year old male named Perry from Toledo that was found severely injured after the tornadoes here has had to be put down - his injuries were too severe apparently.
Our resident male Jack is also MIA since the storms, he has not been seen here nor at the residential site.
Angel seems to be having a problem with one of her talons I've noticed, I'm not sure if she injured it or not but she is having a balance problem. Hasn't stopped her hunting though so hopefully it will pass.

I do hope Truss will turn up somewhere - I wonder what the possible problem might have been.
Carly, do you have more info on Perry from Toledo? I think this would be Perry from the Commodore Perry Motor Inn, band C/51. Haven't seen anything about this - is there a link or a source? Where was he found?
Any updates on Angel's injured talon? I hope she is okay.
It seems that Jack is back. Part of today's update on the CPF site:
. . . And then I went around the back of the building and saw 2 peregrine falcons on the same ledge about a wing span apart. My first thought was wow..Elena flies fast but quickly realized that one of those falcons was alot bigger than the other and both were black and white and not brown! Both heads were swiveling back and forth and both were facing inwards towards the wall. Interestingly there are workmen on the condo next door and normally Angel would at least be kacking to let them know she’s not impressed however no one is even moving from the ledge right now. I watched them for a good 15 minutes and I’m pretty sure one was our resident male unless mom has something she’d like to share with me!
