Mark Nash Reports:

February 10th - 2016
Quickly update,,, as a result of the on-going work above the nest ledge elevation as the contractors are involved in the installation of the new signs, the dome camera housing has been bumped and the camera was slightly put off its target. We have been in contact with Daymar Security and they will establish their remote connection with the camera and re-position it back on the nest tray very shortly. Bear with us.

As a foot note,, despite the human activity above the nest ledge elevation with the new signs being installed, O’Connor (the resident adult female) was observed via the nest ledge camera sitting on the nest tray this morning roosting quite contently during the brief early morning sun. She looked quite good actually. While we really haven’t had a bad winter at all, (actually record setting mild and warn temps in comparison to past winters here in Toronto),, our urban peregrines still have to deal with the typical challenges of the winter season.
Despite the human activity,, you can regularly see at least one of the resident adults on the nest ledge early in the morning before workmen arrive on site,, and after they have finished at the end of the day.

Real Winter is although back with a vengeance this week with bitter artic cold freezing temps well below the norm in addition to and bitter wind chills expected for the next few days!!! They are talking close to minus -30 with the wind chills!!!
We’re all looking very forward to spring!!!
