We have received some interesting news from Mary Beth in NY USA
She writes:
I have good news-Zanar has produced four eggs in the nest box and has a handsome new mate, who has not been banded. The box was relocated to the US side last fall because of the deck project.
The crew also added two sheets of 8×4 plywood in front of the box to allow for more walking room. I hope it helps. The crew will be checking for chicks next week.
I’ll let you know what I find.
Hope you have a great season.
Talk to you soon.
best,
Mary Beth Warburton - N.Y. USA

CPF note: Zanar had lost her mate earlier this year. We are thrilled to hear she has found a new mate and that they have laid eggs!

Incubation continues.

Good morning everyone,
(Thursday) May 3, 2012 — (7:05-7:25 a.m.)
It takes two to watch a home/nest. As I walk up Lyon Street I can see Connor’s sleek silhouette on the NW corner of the Delta Ottawa City Centre hotel rooftop. I walk over to Albert Street in the hopes that Diana might be perched on the east side. I’m about to head up Kent Street when Diana comes in from the north and lands on the SW corner of the hotel rooftop. She “walks” inside the rooftop then comes back to her perch. I backtrack and find that Connor has left the rooftop. I observe Diana preening on another overcast morning in Ottawa. She appears to be settled in for awhile as I head to work.
Take care,
N. McKenna

As I’m walking up Lyon Street towards the Delta Ottawa City Centre hotel I look up in time to see an adult coming from Albert Street. It flies high above the street and pauses in midair for a few seconds before heading back up Albert Street. When I reach the Constitution Square Buildings I find the falcon perched on the SW corner of the Place de Ville, Tower A building. After checking the surrounding building rooftops I cannot detect the presence of its mate.
Take care,

(Monday) April 23, 2012 — (1:10 p.m.) Our resident falcons were out of sight when the snow was swirling in the sky this morning. A light rain with blowing wind has not kept an adult from perching on the SW corner of the Delta Ottawa City Centre hotel rooftop this afternoon.

(Wednesday) April 18, 2012 (7:10 a.m.-7:30 a.m.) It has been a busy morning on the Delta Ottawa City Centre hotel rooftop. As I’m walking up Lyon Street towards the hotel I observe Connor coming around the Constitution Square, Tower 1 building and land inside the SE section of the hotel rooftop. Breakfast has been served as strong vocalizing can be heard from above. As I reach the hotel I can still hear vocalizing. Ten minutes later Connor flies out with his breakfast and lands into the SW section of the rooftop facing Lyon Street. I cross the street to get a better view and observe small gray feathers floating in the air every time Connor takes a bite of food. I return to Albert Street and observe Diana basking in the sun a foot passed the SE corner facing Constitution Square, Tower 1. I certainly hope that there are eggs being incubated on the hotel rooftop.
(Wednesday) April 18, 2012 — (12:00 p.m.) — An adult is perched near the 5th pillar from the SE corner of the Delta Ottawa City Centre hotel rooftop. No signs of its mate at this time.
