Mark Nash Reports:

Jan. 5th - 2015

Just received some interesting news from Mark Heaton from the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests, in that one of the Toronto Sheraton Centre yearling peregrines has been spotted in Dunedin Florida USA on December 12th of 2014. The report was forwarded to us from Matt Rogosky, from the Bird Banding Laboratory, Patuxent Wildlife Research Center . The young yearling peregrine was identified via its leg bands as being a Toronto Sheraton produced male peregrine named “Trout”. As you may recall, Trout was rescued from the city streets back on June 18th as he obviously was pushed or blown off the nest ledge prematurely and fluttered to the ground. Trout was rescued by CPF fledge watch volunteers and returned safely back to his parents and the nest ledge the next day. I have attached some of Trout’s banding photos along with his rescue photos while he was in the rescue carrier.

Hi, we went to Dunedin causeway in Dunedin Florida today Dec -12th -2014

The young peregrine was easily identified after checking the banding database as:
