Thanks to Olga who sent in some camera shots of Erin and Stormin that she was able to capture who we personally haven’t seen for a while. We have all been so busy dealing with all of the ongoing bandings and with overlapping fledge watches, we’re not getting much computer time to check in on some of the other nest sites.
Thank you MUCH Olga for sending these into us!
Both birds are a little wet due to the rain, but other than looking a little water logged, they both appear to be looking good!
Again we apologize for not being able to get these shots posted earlier, but we all have really have been stretched to max with regards to manpower and other available resources,, (including that of just not having enough hours in the day or evenings) to keep up with all of the activity.
As many of you know, the 18 King Street nest site was Toronto’s first nesting / producing peregrines (in Toronto History) that was established in 1995,, and has always held a very special place in all of our hearts. Who could have ever forgotten Pounce-Kingsley and his mate Victoria that started this all in motion!
Erin and Windwhistler replaced Pounce-Kingsley and Victoria, and have been on the King Street nest site now for over 14 years. Windwhistler was obviously replaced sometime this spring by Stormin.
Sadly, this is the very first time in 20 years that we have not had hatchlings to band and attend to at the Toronto Downtown nest site.
Fingers crossed that the nest site rebounds next season and they are successful in producing offspring again!
