Another Successful Year - with a twist.

June 02, 2009 - Mississauga - St Lawrence Cement

CPF Postmaster Reports:

While the St. Lawrence pair have yet again eluded us and concealed the brunt of their activities, we have some good news to report never the less.  The  identified adult pair have once been successful in producing at least two offspring again this year, and as John and Armando report, the two hatchlings are ready to fly!  As reports came in from John from a far while working in the area, Armando was trying to get a ariel photo from above the nesting roof high up atop of the tower.  Both report that the activity was far from being still, as two very healthy hatchlings in full juvenile plumage were now being observed flapping their wings on the leading edges of the building high above the activity at the plant.

I have attached a photo to give you an idea as to the nest nest (or should I say the nest roof area) and the upper roof area that Armando needs to get to that would allow him a sneak-peek of the nest.  Its a long way down!

To the best of our knowledge, both juvenileshave now since  fledged successfuly.  Sadly, their sex is unknown, and they were not able to be banded due to their advanced age.


Do you have photos or videos of fledges or parents? Share them with us!

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.

We might include some of the videos or photos in our updates, or around the site.  You could be famous!
