From the Last Few Days

June 30, 2011 - Burlington - Lift Bridge

Sue McCreadie Reports:

Bill and I got to the Lift Bridge last evening (6/29/11) around 5:30.  We searched in all the usual spots, but with no luck.  Finally around 6:15 Bill spotted one juvenile tucked under the Skyway Bridge on one of the beams.  She had her back to us so we were unable to see who it was.  We never did find the other Juvenile.  There was no movement whatsoever, so we decided to head for home around 6:45.  I guess we should have waited a little longer because:

 Paul Reynolds reports the following after his arrival between 6:45 and 7:00:

Hi Sue, I’ve been to the pier a number of times, watching the kids play.  Tonight (6/29/11) I saw Lady Nelson hunting in the trees across the canal on the Burlington side.   Lady Lamont came from behind carrying a pigeon about ten feet off the water.  She landed over in the boat launch area in the middle of the grass.  I left to go fishing then on the way back to the car I noticed Lady Lamont was up the Hamilton Hydro tower finishing off her meal.  As I drove out the two of them were flying together around the same Hydro tower.

 

Back to Monday (6/27/11) evening, both birds were sitting on the top rail of the bridge, and it was pretty clear they were chasing the pigeons as they went down to drink.

 

Attached are a few photos from June 26 and June 27.
