CPF Postmaster Reports:
We have received some good news from Lara that the downtown London nest site has a new male on territory and he appears to be courting the resident female! After several years of inactivity, things are looking good as it appears that the territorial female has finally attracted an available male.
Both birds were observed circling the tower and one landing at the nest ledge with what could have been a pigeon and feathers raining down shortly after. Clouds of feathers were also observed drifting off the Libro building on York St. the previous week, but the peregrine could not be seen at this time.

While a little late in our reporting due to the huge back log we’re dealing with at this time of year, we have received some sad news from the London area. Hance, a building engeneer has reported finding a dead falcon in one of the rooftop cooling pools from a building top down on Wellington Street. He was kind enough to send us a couple of photos. While we had originally believed that it may have been a peregrine falcon given that it was banded with a Silver USFW band, a closer insoection of the photos, it is obvious that the bird in the photos is not Peregrine falcon, but likly an Amerian Kestrel. It is banded on the right leg…#1523-84675

Matt MacGillivray Reports:
If you have photos of any of the CPF monitored nest sites, birds or fledglings in this exciting time, we would love to see them! If you have older photos or videos from CPF events, like the 2009 Sportsman show, we would love to see those too.
We’ve got a flickr group that you can upload photos and short videos to. If you have longer videos, upload them to youtube and tag them with cpf and peregrine and I will find them.
Example shot from the Sheraton Banding in the Flickr Pool -
We might include some of the videos or photos in our updates, or around the site. You could be famous!
Matt.

CPF Postmaster Reports:
Sadly, we have not received any updates or information on any peregrine activity in London Ontario again this year. It would appear that the London nest site web pages has not been updated since 2006 and we have no news to report. We are hoping that anyone with any knowledge or news as to the activity of the London peregrines.
