Tuesday September 30, 2003
Harry Crawford reports:
At 6:33pm, a female peregrine was on the south east corner of the
CIBC building. She stayed there until just before 7:08pm. Since
her back was to me, I couldn`t tell if it was the adult female
that often visits the area.
Friday September 26, 2003
Harry Crawford reports:
What looked like the adult female was seen on the north west corner
of the CIBC roof from 7:52 until shortly after 8:16am. Workers had
just appeared on the Bay roof. Later, at 4:00pm, the adult male was
seen briefly on the west side of the CIBC roof. He may have been
there for a while as I usually assume a sighting in that area is a
pigeon. The falcons prefer the ledge just under the CIBC logos.

The adult male was briefly on the west side of the CIBC building at
4:19pm.
Friday September 19, 2003
Harry Crawford reports:
The adult male was on the west side of the CIBC building from 6:55
until 7:18am. It looked like he was trying to find a spot to get
out of the wind. Just before he left, he was pressed up against the
wall of the building and hardly visible.

Harry Crawford reports:
At 6:27am the silhouette of a peregrine was seen on the south west
corner of the CIBC roof. When there was enough light, it turned out
to be the adult male, feeding. He was still there when I left
the area for work at 8:35am.

spectacular glide from the roof area of 44 Charles West to and right
into, a west facing concrete slot of the CIBC building, a block
away. He was gone from view shortly after 5pm.

south west corner of 77 Bloor West at 9:31am. He appeared to come
from the roof area of 44 Charles West. He was gone at 9:35am after
making a brief stop on the east side of the building. At 6:50pm he
spent a few minutes on a pipe on the east side of 77 Bloor West.

logo at 12:23pm and was last seen in that location at 2:12pm. The
male was seen on the south west corner of the same building from

way to the north east in the fog above Bay and Bloor.

The adult male peregrine was back today -- first seen on the north
west corner of the CIBC building at 4:25pm. He moved briefly to a
west concrete slot at 4:32pm before relocating to the bottom of the
south logo. He was out of view around 6pm but was later seen on the
top of the south facing Bay logo at 6:17pm. The fog quickly blocked
my view and when it lifted around 8:15pm, the bird was gone.
