2011 NESTING SEASON
Another tidbit from Loriann ...
Holcim Peregrines are very active indeed
February 22, 2011 - Mississauga - Holcim
CPF Postmaster Reports:
Given the observations of Kris and his friends, it appears that one of the resident peregrines has a solid Black band, telling us that at least one of the resident adults is a Canadian produced peregrine.
The Credit Valley Conservation staff and volunteers were conducting a winter raptor survey on January 27, 2011. As part of the survey a day is spent in an urban setting monitoring urban raptors. At approximately 12:42 pm a single peregrine falcon at St. Lawrence cement was spotted on a lamp post along Avonhead Road. Soon there after the second peregrine appeared and landed on a steel structure just behind the peregrine perched on the light post. This second bird has been noted with a distinctive dark breast/belly patch. This patch has been seen on a bird at this location two weeks prior. The first bird perched on the light post left for several minutes and returned with a European Starling in its clutch. The second peregrine with the dark breast then took flight as the first peregrine neared and mid air received the starling then proceeded to its previous perch to dine on the prey. The birds were watched for several minutes; the first bird took flight several times and landed near its dark breasted feeding companion. Note: in one of the photos, if magnified the solid black band on its left leg has a visible capital letter “D” or 0.

From Loriann ...
Bruce Massey stopped in at the Holcim site while out on a west end nest site tour and found the adult male, Storm, roosting just above the nest site. The resident female, Caspian, was nowhere to be seen as she was tucked away out of sight incubating her eggs. We will be watching more closely in the coming weeks for the adults to start bringing in food indicating that a hatch has occurred. Thank you Bruce for the update!!

2013 NESTING SEASON
From Loriann in Mississauga ... she is passing this along from their website ...
Huge thank you to Barb and Armando at Holcim Cement for sending us an update on their peregrines. Armando was able to get a look at the nest site the other day and confirm incubation by the pair. This is exciting news and we look forward to another great year at the Holcim site. The CPF will be celebrating Earth Day with Holcim at their plant event and we will have further updates and news on Caspian and Storm’s progress!!

Mark Nash Reports:
April 30th - 2015
The first clutch of 4 eggs (seen in the photo as being the much lighter in colour, bleached out by the sun while they were not being attended to during the territorial battles and the lack of a support male to help the resident female with her full time incubation duties) still remains,,, among the newly laid (much more vibrant rusty brown coloured eggs) that the resident adult female has just recently produced. This is a second clutch of 4 eggs!!!

Caspian and Storm produced 4 eggs together and approximately 2 weeks into incubation, Storm was found dead and a new male was on the scene. The first new male was a one year old and he was around about a week, during which time Caspian abandoned the eggs as she had no choice. The next time Tracy went out, yet another male was on the scene, this one an adult. He hasn't been positively ID'd yet as she only has part of the bands. Anyway, this new adult male and Caspian then produced a second clutch, the one year old was no where to be found. So ...the first clutch was a failed clutch and she reclutched with another male.
