Hi Kinderchick,
When I drive home from work I pass by the Heron Rd building where last year's new pair nested, but so far I haven't seen any falcons on ledges, mind you, I'm keeping one eye on the road and one on the building so I don't see everything. But the building is a light grey and the falcons are dark so I should be able to see something even from the distance I am at.
I had heard from fellow gardeners at the Kilborn garden plots, that a couple of years ago there was a Peregrine falcon that was hunting pigeons on the appartment building adjacent to the garden plots on Kilborn Ave. I will keep an eye out for any activity when I'm there gardening.
I'd like to think the falcon circling my house was saying "Hi" and showing off; it could also be that he/she was keeping an eye on the pigeons that seem to roost in a neighbour's yard a few houses down. ::)

How exciting to see/hear a PF circling above your house, banane! 8) Do you know if there are any reports of a 2nd nesting PF pair in the Ottawa area? If you recall, there was a report of a nesting pair on a 10-story building on Heron Rd. last year. 3 chicks were spotted, with one falling to it's death. Would be great if you were to hear anything about these PF's. :D I wonder if the one you saw was from that nest? :-\ For some reason, Diana & Conner don't seem to be having much luck producing offspring. :(

On the afternoon of May 5th 2013, I saw and heard a falcon circling above my house. It was pretty high up but I'm 99% sure it was a Peregrine. Later that afternoon I saw and heard the ?same? falcon again. Both sightings were in the Elmvale Acres neighbourhood in Ottawa near the Kilborn allotment gardens. :D

The view that you see of a PF on the ledge is a still photo that has remained as is for several years. I do receive updates from the website, though. Apparently, a PF was spotted eating a pigeon in the car park of the mall at the intersection of Innes Rd and Blair Rd on Feb. 12th. :)
