Peter and Angela Visible Again at Hearn

July 25, 2013 - Toronto - Hearn Power Station

Bruce Massey Reports:

On Sunday I was down to visit the Hearn Generating Station in an effort to re-sight Peter and Angela in the territory.  When I arrived, I scanned all of the usual ledges that they roost on and found Peter on the stack.  He made several forays from this location and each time returned to the territory.  I carefully checked the ledge that they were last seen incubating on and there was no sign of Angela or any young.  I made my way back around to an area that affords me a view of the north side of the plant but was unable to locate Angela or any other peregrine in that view.  I can say for certain though that Peter was the male on site today holding the territory as evidenced by a scope view of his band.  Later this week, one of our watchers in the area reported that both Peter and Angela are visible again on the south side of the main building but that they believe the pair has again failed in their efforts to produce young this year.  It was good to hear that the pair is still on territory and maintaining the site and we look forward to them finding the perfect ledge next year for successfully hatching offspring.  We will continue to check in on them throughout the year so watch for updates to come.
