May 27th 1 Boy and 1 Girl

May 27, 2019 - Mississauga - Executive Centre

Marion Nash Reports:

Banding day went very well. Many of the tenants, building management and security came out to see their new falcon family members.

Thanks to Kathy Smith a long time CPF volunteer who extracted the chicks and Sky Reach Window Washing who provided the lift up to the nest 2 chicks arrived in the lobby safe and sound. We have 1 male and 1 female this year and were a very healthy pair.

The female was 910 grams banded 82 over X and named Amanda with red tape on her silver band and the male was 695 grams and banded S over 49 and named Drago with blue tape on his silver band.

The adult female never left the nest ledge and Kathy had to give her a little push to move her out of the way to get the chicks and gave her the cold peregrine stare until her babies were returned.

more photos to come and announcement about the start date for the fledge watch so please keep watching.

Once again a big thanks to Colliers property management and MEC security for all their help and continued support of the MEC falcons!
