Another update from Loriann
We Have Two Very Big Girls
May 31, 2011 - Burlington - Lift Bridge
Today was banding day. Anne Yagi, Biologist with the Ministry of Natural Resources performed the banding . The statistics are as follows:
Lady Lamont - Weighing in at a whopping 1063 grams - Black band 41/X and she will be wearing a red band on her right leg
Lady Nelson - A little smaller at 988 grams - Black band 42/X and she will be wearing a yellow band on her right leg
There were 2 unhatched eggs in the box, which were retrieved for testing.
Now the fun begins. Given their size and estimated age of 26/27 days, the official Fledge Watch will begin in approximately 10 days (June 10th)
Photos will follow.

Sooo, how happily surprised was I, when I met a friend of my sister last night (at Shakespeare in High Park- ;D) who has had a couple of encounters of some phanatics at the Burlington site. She greatly enjoyed meeting these folks (didn't have any names, but there was a photographer and his wife - :o wasn't Dennis - just had to ask) and she had pics of the nest site to share. We only had a few minutes to chat before and after the show, but it was great to find someone who is beginning to feel the spark of phanaticism! :)

It is very exciting, isn't it, susha?! :D So happy to hear that you are still able to remain connected to peregrine falcons and the Forum while away on holidays! 8)

Daughter and I are visiting family and friends in Toronto. I decided before coming here that it was unlikely we'd have the time to try to find some falcon connections on this trip. Everybody's fledged anyway and getting around this expansive city is a challenge. (Brought binocs just in case, but very inexperienced still, so thought that Peregrine viewing would not be on the agenda).

Two Beautiful Days at the Lift Bridge
May 24, 2010 - Burlington - Lift Bridge
Sue McCreadie Reports:
Bill and I spent a few good hours at the Lift Bridge yesterday (May 23rd) and today (May 24th). Yesterday, around 2:00 pm, we witnessed Mom pluck a pigeon out of the sky. She took it to a concrete ledge under a light standard on the bay side of the Skyway Bridge to prepare it for the little ones. Today, she went to the same area and picked up an already prepared meal and returned to feed the little ones.
We had a third Adult Peregrine in the area today. All of a sudden we heard a lot of vocalizing and knew that something was about. Both birds took off after the intruder. Mom returned a short time later but Dad was missing for quite a while, but eventually returned after making certain the intruder did not return.
With scopes and camera, we have been trying to see band numbers and today, after much deliberation, we are almost certain that the adults have not changed from last year. We have Dad, Sir Adam Beck born in 2006 at the King Street nest in Toronto and Mom, Cirrus born in 2006 in Dayton Ohio.
Here’s hoping for a successful season.
