!!! K-W peregrines have laid their 1st egg! Just in time for Easter !!!
March 22, 2016 - Kitchener - CTV-Bell Media Tower
Lisa Reh Reports:
At around 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday, March 22, the K-W’s resident peregrine falcons have laid their first egg!! The pair have been very active for the the last month, courting around the Sun Life tower and have moved back into the nest box at the CTV tower across from Grand River Hospital. The winter has taken a toll on the nest box with the back door getting blown open and a squirrel had moved in. Thanks to Matt from CTV for securing the door! On March 9th, Janice reported that the adults were very active, flying up to the 19th floor balcony at least 10 times. On March 10th, at 6:30 p.m. one of the adults flew overhead to the CTV tower and landed on the tower opposite the nest box. A few minutes later, a squirrel headed up the middle of the tower, took one look at the falcon sitting there and turned around and went straight back down!
The falconcam at CTV is hooked up but is not live yet. You can see the report of the first egg on CTV Kitchener.
