Midnight Hanging Out at Shoppers World
January 12, 2013 - Brampton - Courthouse
Tracy Simpson Reports:
Our last stop this weekend was over at the Brampton Courthouse to check in on the happenings with Milton and his new girl Midnight. When we arrived at the courthouse, there were no peregrines to be found and so Bruce and I headed up to Shoppers World to look for Midnight. She has been see almost daily hanging out on the roof tops of the apartments behind the plaza and she is actively hunting the abundance of pigeons in the area. When we entered the parking lot we indeed found Midnight perched high on a building and digesting a crop of food. Many pigeons were swirling around her chosen perch and one nearly landed beside her before realizing what she was and veering off. Although interested in watching the activity, Midnight made no move to hunt any of these foolish daredevil pigeons that were flying around her as she clearly had already done that earlier and was satisfied. As we haven’t seen Milton in a while, we decided to drive north to the downtown area and look about. Bruce and I did a walk about of the area but were unsuccessful in finding any peregrines. Milton may have a new hangout and Midnight was sure interested in something to the east of Shoppers World. We will be back to check in on the pair and keep you updated as spring approaches.
