Some good news for the Niagara Falls peregrines!
A big thank you again to Jacquie again from the New York Department of Conservation - (N.Y.D.E.C.) which is New York’s state equivalent of our provincial wildlife resources here in Ontario - (Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests) for her update and new photos of the Niagara Falls peregrines.
The Canadian Peregrine foundation has worked closely and in partnership with the N.Y.D.E.C. off and on over the past 16 years on the various peregrine programs that we have all been involved in, and its nice to know that our good friends to the south are still there for us as in this case.
Sadly, we are unable to see the Niagara Falls peregrines nest from the Canadian side so monitoring the nesting pair and their activities in the nest cavity is impossible. The only way to see the nest cavity is from the USA side looking back to the Canadian side. While it is quite a distance to see across the Niagara Gorge from the U.S. side, Jacquie has got it pretty good!!!

A quick update on the Niagara Falls nest! I was there on Wednesday, June 22, and found the female in the box with two juvies that looked just about ready to fledge (~ 39 days). I scanned all over the old OPG building with my scope, but did not see any other fledges, so it looks like just two for this site this year. I attached a couple photos.
