Hey

1)Tuesday Morning a large Raptor appeared over Downsview Parc. scared off all the Mourning doves and the resident American Kestrels.
The Unknown reappeared  moments later it hot pursuit of a Mourning Dove directly overhead in powered flight almost catching the Dove.

2)Today while waiting in the car an American Kestrel was nearly knocked to the ground directly in front of one off our hangers (30 feet away from where I was sitting), it recovered itself flew away pursued by a large Raptor.  

I Dunno could have been a Coopers hawk.

3)Today before heading home I received this in an email.
The kestrel was flying about in the rafters.
