2009 NESTING SEASON
And from the Burlington Lift Bridge site, home of Pittsburgh Pete - not sure if he was back there and wasn't even aware the rehabbers had released him but they are working on getting the males ID. The female was killed however in a territorial dispute.
Yet another territorial dispute ending in mortality!

Mark Nash Reports:
Apologizes for the lack of recent updates on my behalf, but it has been a very busy spring in the field for us, (and an early one for some of the birds that caught us off guard). There has been so much happening and so many territorial disputes between squabbling peregrines at many of the existing nests sites here in southern Ontario this year, it has been difficult to keep up with all that has happened - (and the Burlington nest site has been no different). I don’t know where to begin, so the best I can do at this time with so much behind us is to start with my most recent news here at the Burlington nest site.. It all played out with the recovery of a dead adult female peregrine falcon found on territory last week.
