Marion Nash Reports:
Finally, we are back up!! Yaaah!! Thank you to all for your support, patience, and understanding with this. After all was said and done, the final problem was with the DLink router/switch that needed to be reprogrammed for the new settings to deal with the Rogers settings.
The CPF webmaster was then able to reconfigure the final settings at the server end and it appears that everything is working again!
Once again, a huge thank you to Frieda and CBRE management,, Damar Security and Daniel at the CPF for all of their efforts and support in getting us through this challenge!
Despite the few hiccups over the past 22 years with camera changes and a couple of power outages and some computer challenges, the Etobicoke peregrine web camera remains the longest-standing, continuous running active peregrine web camera (and active/occupied, and producing nest nest site) in North America!
The Etobicoke Bloor and Islington nest camera(s) have been active (and for the most parts) been up and running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year for the past 22 years! The Bloor and Islington nest site has been both active and been producing offspring each and every year since 1997!
The Bloor and Islington nest site has been a very important part of the restoration and recovery of Ontario’s peregrine population with the surviving generations of offspring that has gone on to produce their own offspring in five different cities in two provinces here in Canada and four US states in the USA!
Once again,, thank you ALL for your support!!

Hi Marion,
Unfortunately, we’ve been informed that Clifton did not survive the surgery on Friday. Below is the message from Shades of Hope.
We were hoping for a better outcome.
On a positive side, our brief interaction with the rescue and care of Clifton has raised our awareness about peregrine falcons, along with many family and friends.
We wish you continued success with the Canadian Peregrine program.
Sincerely,
David

Hi Marion,
I’ve received a preliminary update from Shades of Hope. The falcon has a serious Radius/Ulnar fracture that will require surgical pinning. It is still too early to decide if the falcon will survive surgery.
They will provide updates by email.
I’ll let you know if I hear any further info.
Kindly,
David

Wow busy Thanksgiving weekend for our Peregrine 2019 offspring! Grace banded at the Beachville nest June 5th 2019 ( perhaps looking so take a plane ride south for the winter instead of flying herself) Lets hope she stay’s away from the airports for the rest of her migration 
Report from the Detroit Metro
Airport October 14th 2019.
This weekend we captured a peregrine falcon with a blue band on the right leg and on the left leg it had a colored band with black background and white writing Z on top and 42 on the bottom. This bird is being relocated to Chelsea
Chelsea is a city in Washtenaw County in the U.S. state of Michigan. The population was 4,944 at the 2010 census. In March 2004 by a 995-226 vote, residents approved a change in municipal status from a village into a city.
Thank you Detroit Metro and city of Chelsea please look after our girl and help her on her way!✈

Marion Nash Reports:
On August 20th, Rochester Animal services picked a young peregrine falcon and brought it to a local vet/rehabilitator. The rehab facility has contacted me and provided me with the auxiliary band number (Black Band D/62). They tried to report the band, but have not received a response, but based on the information on your site, I believe this may be one of the young from the Sheraton Centre (Quinn).
Based on the X-rays, there didn’t appear to be any broken bones, just some bruising. The falcon seems to be doing very well, both eating and flying. It is being transferred to a facility with a larger flight facility so that it can strengthen its flight and be tested for release. If all goes well, it should be released relatively soon. I will let you know how it goes.
Cheers,
Jenny

Z70, from Duncan Mill Rd. was caught by some banders in Innisfil this morning. She weighed 1009 grams. Although she is north many of the females seem to head north then west ending up in places like Michigan while the boys head out across Lake Ontario.

Tardis and Kepler are still around and doing great! I see them often… They are hanging around together, today I walked out of Forresters and heard that juvie cry, looked up and saw one flying around the building, calling then chase his sister off the letter and settle on it himself, yep Kepler! Tardis tried to tease him off, failed and flew to ICICI… Then back and Kepler finally took the bait and they were off! So fun to watch… How much longer? Who knows… Late hatch so I hope to see them for a bit more.
