2013 NESTING SEASON

Right now - 22 Feb 2013 @ 1531 CST - there is bird sitting on the ledge by the nestsite.
The webcam at the Crowne Plaza is active year-round.

I'm so glad to hear that you are spotting the PF's in Ottawa, Banane.

[Banane]

I'm pretty sure I spotted the Ottawa Taxation Building fledgling on the north side of the Tupper building on my way home from work at 4:00 on July 5th. He/she was in the shade and appeared fairly dark but I figured it should be our little darling on the ledge looking into a window (I don't think this would be something a crow would do).
It always makes me smile to see our falcons. 

[Banane]

Glad Connor appears to be back!!   
I look forward to the updates on the new pair as well. I'll try to spot them on my way home tonight.

CPF - Update with observations for the new Ottawa Heron Road peregrine nest site

[Banane]

I just got back from holidays. I'm sorry to read that Connor as gone MIA. That is not good news. I hope nothing has happened to him. Not a good year for our downtown residents.

I did see that, RCF. I wonder if he has had an accident? He has been the resident male there for at least a few years. I'm not sure how old he is. Maybe Banane will have more info for us.

It seems Connor has gone missing.

I'm pretty sure I saw the building where the new family is situated. It's a little further from Heron Rd surrounded by quite a bit of green space. A nest box would really be a good investment. The ledges look fairly treacherous. I hope the two little ones fledge successfully. 

That's very interesting, Banane. I checked back and on April 20th you posted that you thought you had seen PF's in this area. And sure enough, you had! I do have a contact person/address for you but I will have to locate it. I communicated with the people at this site last year. Will look it up and get back to you.

[RCF]

Is there a name/email for the contact person for the Ottawa falcons. I would certainly like to help our new residents for next season (monetarily or voluntarely, i.e. build a nest box (my husband is a cabinet maker)).

Try this link Banane, I hope this helps.

The Canadian Peregrine Foundation are the folks running the webcam and who tend to have jurisdiction over many (most?) of the southern Ontario/Toronto birds.  That's where I would start ...

Yes!! I just saw that! How exciting! It must have been one of the parents I spotted (and reported) a few weeks back at the corner of Riverside Dr and Heron Rd. That is super good news. Too bad one chick fell. It would be great if a nest box could be built or secure the current ledge.   

[RCF]

I checked and I don't see any other updates other than June 1st 2012. 

No up date but a new pair has been discovered in Ottawa.
