A big thank you to Hugh Sturdy for sending in his great shot of a very confused young Red-tailed hawk, after trying repeatedly trying to chase off the big bad Great horned owl that was roosting on a balcony, and failing to impress the owl! :-)

Hello/To Whom It May Concern - Peregrine Foundation
I live down town in a complex of buildings called City Park at Church and Alexander (Near Loblaws Maple Leaf Gardens) . Over the past few weeks I’ve observed a pair of what I believe to be falcons, swooping down and flying around the buildings here. A few times one has landed on the railing of a neighbouring building. They are incredible to watch as they fly around the area.

I have attached a photo I took recently (and posted to The Weather Network web site) It’s a funny shot because there is a fake owl on the railing to scare away pigeons and this falcon is sitting just a couple feet away from it staring at it. I also took video of one flying past.

I just thought maybe you might like to know about this pair in case you had not been aware.

Thank you.
Kind regards,
Hugh Sturdy
