!!! With longer days, increased photocell and sunlight, the birds are spending a little more time on the nest ledges each day despite the bitter cold!

A quick check of the various web cams, and we find the resident adults spending a little more time on the nest ledge these days despite the bitter cold record temps that we have been experiencing here in southern Ontario. With -20 daily temps, and -30 with the wind-chills, its been just toooo cold to get out and do much!! But the peregrines on the other hand, its just another cold day in the life of an urban peregrine it would seem.

While we can still confirm that Quest is still the resident adult female on site, (even know that he has finally ditched her back-pack radio transmitter), there is still a big question as to who the resident adult male is these days. Recent squabbling observed last month clearly indicated that a new suitor was on territory and Sky was not being seen at all.

Again, only time will tell as the days get longer, and the birds will be spending more time in view of the camera on the nest ledge.
Stay tuned………. Keep watching, and don’t forget to send us some snapshots if you happen to see a band number ID!
