Title: Quest at Kingston- In The Flesh!

Quest has continued to stay around Prince Edward Point with frequent trips into nearby Kingston Ontario this month.  Recently our friends at the Canadian Peregrine Foundation posted about Quest visiting the Kingston Harbor on January 4.  Happily CPF observer Rachel McRae was able to get some pictures of Quest.  We're reprinting them...

We are about due for another map update, Penelope.  From the toolbar above, look at blogs-tracking Quest-other maps.  The last update had her at Prince Edward Point, Ontario 02/06/2011.

Congrats on your first post, Penelope99!

Welcome, Penelope.  Are you in a place where you can actually see Quest -- in the flesh?   
That's great!.. Keep us posted on her wander -er.  Those kids at Quest School certainly picked the right name for her.

No, I live between Montreal and Quebec city, a little at the north. I am addict to Rochester' falcons because Cabot-Sirroco, born in Canada. Rochester has been my first really contact with falcons. And after, I have followed all episodes of the history of our dear Mariah... I miss her, like to you!!!

I'm pretty sure Quest visited Montreal last year.

Yes, I remember that!!
We have one pair of falcons in Montreal, Spirit and Roger. Here is the link:  http://ornithologie.ca/faucons/ (http://ornithologie.ca/faucons/)
If you go to the blog you will hear them to discuss about the next season...  I think to understand it's about the number of babies; Mom want to have 5 but dad is not happy with this. He imagines how much he will have to work for feed all this family...;)

I don't know where Quest was today, but for the past 4 days, she has been very close to Pickering. She may have returned to the power plant.

Interesting-I thought for sure she was going to settle on the Lennox Power plant.

She is just not ready to settle down, is she?

I wish she would go back to Lennox or have some eggs! She reminds me of Bobbin!

or she hasn't found a nest spot she is happy with. I think I know what is wrong with the lennox box. Its being on the roof with no wall to the back. I read that falcons don't like such a open spot. It probably feels unprotected.

It seems that Quest has more stability since some days, do you know someone who can to watch her near Pickering?
