CPF Postmaster Reports:
Its been a while since we have been able to provide an update on the birds progress. With thanks to the building engineering staff , Margaret and Kathy, it appears that the first clutch of eggs that the pair had laid have failed. Engineering staff report that they observed several fresh half egg shells and other egg fragments on one of the north side upper ledges, (in the same place where the peregrines attempted to nest last year.
Margaret and Kathy report that the peregrines are being observed on a regular basis on the north of the nest building on atop of a pillar where they nested last year. Given what we already know about the birds first nesting attempt and the first clutch of eggs earlier in the season, it appears that they are on the second nesting attempt. With both resident adults birds being seen at the same time, there is still indication of any full time incubation happening. The birds and the chosen nest ledge can easily be viewed from the street level at Burrows Hall Park.
Stay tuned…

CPF Postmaster Reports:
With much thanks to Lev for his quick action, he was able to snap these two photos of the resident adult female roosting on the Telus building the first week of December.
The photos clearly show that at least the resident adult female is still on territory and did not migrate south for the winter, and that food is still abundant given the size of her filled crop. Thanks Lev and Kyle for bringing these photos to our attention.
Updated to include photos!

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.

Kathy Smith Reports:
Was able to get on the roof of the Yellow Pages building to check on nesting progress. There was only one egg and no adults in sight. After exploring the west to south side of the roof, mom showed up. She didn’t seem overly aggressive but I didn’t stay around long enough to give her a chance. From the ground, I watched her activity. She seem to be circuling the building and roosted on the top peek. She then flew off to the south and I was not able to spot her after that. She never returned to the nest site during that half hour.

Marion Nash Reports:
Kathy went to Yellow Pages site today to see if we have had any more eggs or perhaps a hatch but no luck. There is only 1 egg left and the adults were not incubating. She checked several of the other ledges to make sur she had not moved yet again but nothing more was seen until she got to the south side when the female appeared and started stooping and yelling so they left the roof to watch from below to see if the male shows up and where and on what ledge she settles.

Bruce Massey Reports:
Checked in at Yellow Pages, for about a half an Hour or so, and saw pretty well what I expected. With the Cool weather and fairly high wind speed, I observed no action around the Nest Ledge, as the Adult would be tight to it. The one thing I also noticed was no 2nd Adult present (Figured I would check Bell before I came Home- See Report @ Bell Page) Anyway, no prescence seen in the Half an Hour or so I was on site.
