Mark has been down to the Toronto Sheraton Hotel and there is no evidence of any attempt to nest there yet and no peregrines on site.
I went down to the Downtown Toronto Sheraton to check on the nest today there were no eggs, only one adult seen on distant building, no one in the nest tray or ledge looks like a failure this year.
We went down to the Toronto Downtown Sheraton nest to check on the nest and can confirm that the female is Tardis produced at the Don Mills and Eglinton nest site in 2019 and the male is Spicy P produced at Canada Square Young and Eglinton Toronto in 2019.
The pair was seen bowing and chuping at each other as well as beak touvhing so they are still a bonded pair and they stooped the windows as we passed going into the mechanical room to the nest hatch however there were no chicks and no eggs laid as of yet.
We will continue to check on the nest and will post updates if there are any eggs laid.

Bruce and Mark have confirmed there are at least 2 chicks at Mt Sinai Hospital. Should be ready to fledge in about a week. As for The Sheraton Hotel it’s a fail, both eggs have been abandoned one is broken no hatch this year, no sign of chicks at 18 King St.
As of May 25th there are 2 eggs. Waiting on hatch!
Spicy P produced at Canada Square 2019 is now with an unbanded female at Toronto Downtown Sheraton Hotel. Mark went down to check on the Sheraton pair today and saw the unbanded female and then the male brought in food to her. He got a clear look at his band 00 over AW and he still has the white tape on his silver band we used for the fledge watch. No eggs yet will check again in a week.
Just got a report from the banding office that Quin a male produced at the Toronto Sheraton Hotel in 2019 was reported in Rochester August of 2019 and is also being reported as in captivity. I have reached out to the reporter to see if I can get some further information on Quin. Strange that we should be just getting a report now.
The falcon in the first three photos was in the south end of the Second Marsh near Lake Ontario and the other photos were taken in the southwest corner of McLaughlin Bay in Oshawa.
