Hello All
Well, today we have received some not so good news from Tony at Bentall Kennedy, the building management group at the KW Sun Life Centre in Kitchener Waterloo. Sadly, there is much needed roof repairs and window replacement work that needs to be attended to next year , early in 2015, and as such, the new Sun Life nest box will have to be decommissioned early in the new year so that the roof area can be prepped and made ready for the repairs and much needed maintenance.
Given the extensive roof repair work that needs to be completed in addition to the window replacements needed on the nest box elevation (and with the time frames the time it will take to complete the roof work and window replacement work), it will unfortunately overlap into the 2015 peregrine nesting season!
And we all know how the peregrines will react to human activity in “their space”, especially at this time of the breeding season. Suddenly, the roof top of the Sun Life tower could be a very dangerous environment for any and all humans to be working!
As such, we will be searching for a new location to set up the nest box for Castor and his new mate, one that will allow Sun life to complete the roof repairs and the window replacements without being attacked and harassed by the nesting peregrines, and allow the peregrines to have a undisturbed egg laying and family rearing time frame.
Stay tuned……
