Amexon Nest site - Don Mills & Eglinton - (ICICI)
While I know that I likely over reacting, it was never the less somewhat disturbing after spending several hours at the Don Mills nest site at Eglinton Ave and Don Mills Road having not seen either of the two resident peregrines anywhere. After more than an hour of sitting and watching the nest building and nest ledge, we decided to take a tour around the neighborhood to check all of the usual roosting spots and leading edges of most all of the other buildings from various viewing spots, and each turned up negative. No peregrines anywhere to be found!!
After talking to security, they did inform us that their grins were very vocal several days earlier, and could be herd from the ground level, so we know that have been around.
What was also somewhat disturbing, was the lack of “fresh” white-wash staining under their usual roosting spots. Hmmmm?
Thinking positively, we hope that they are already involved in full time incubation on the nest ledge, and the non-incubating adult was simply off hunting or roosting in a non-typical spot.
Time will tell, (and a whole lot more observations are needed)!!
Any assistance with observations if you have the time to get out and spend some time watching would be most appreciative!
