Title: Peregrines nesting in Etobicoke
Post by: Mathew Rossi on March 23, 2008, 11:32:44 AM

Hi all. I didn't manage to get out birding this weekend but fortunately they came to me.  I couldn't tell what type of birds they were, thought they were Red-tails until I got the camera out and took a few shots.  Nice to see spring is here!

Sorry the quality isn't better but here's one after he/she finished eating what I think was a pigeon.

They are apparently trying to pick a nesting site (the one I thought they were using isn't definite), but they're around the area today and on the local golf course as well. I'd suggest listening for them in the area more than anything, that's how I noticed them.

Hi all,

Thought you might be interested in the webcam the Canadian Peregrine Foundation has setup at this nest site, link is here -> http://www.peregrine-foundation.ca/Web_ ... /index.htm (http://www.peregrine-foundation.ca/Web_Cams/Etobicoke/index.htm)  You can now follow the goings on and see if there is anyone home by clicking on the image.  There are 2 eggs laid at the site, and the link should be back up and running in a short period of time (technical difficulties).  Sheraton couple have already laid their first egg with another on the way.

Cheers, Attila
