I just got heard about Annie's passing, I am at a loss for words. She was so thrilled to volunteer at the fledge watches in Toronto. She loved her birds. She will be missed by all the falcon followers here in Toronto and in New York. It's good to know she'll forever have the best seat in the house for watching the fledglings.

I believe "Wind" is currently nesting at Mt.Sinai Hospital, on University Ave, Just up the street from the Sheraton Nest site. Don't have an ID on the male as yet. Need a power scope for that. Wind paid us a visit last year when we observing the Mt.Sinai nest site. She came very close to us. We we dove for cover, she came to rest on a area, where I was able to confirm her leg bands. Friday, the same person was again observing the pair and confirmed the band colours of the female, but not the numbers. But given creatures of habit, her resting spots are the same as last year, so I'm confident that it is Wind nesting at Mt.Sinai Hospital.  That would be wonderful if it is Windwhistler, as her mate. Both Wind and Windwhistler were hatched in 1998, so that is pushing the age. Windwhistler was hatched in Etobicoke,( Toronto )

Hey Everyone;
I was to the nest site today around 11:00am ? and waited for a handing off. I missed it trying to confirm leg bands off the male. The two of them are really quick about it. I tried to take a picture but the actual camera blocks a clear view of the little ones. Rhea Mae and Tiago have nested in the lower left hand side of the nest box, as they did last year. This makes it difficult to take an actual photo. Altho the image on the webcam is better angle, it is a lot different actually viewing the nest live. The lens has a lot of dust and dirt on it, throwing off a lot glare. I hope to clean it when we band the birds.
I could see two chickies... oh so sweet and so teeny tiny.... but cannot confirm a third. But I will take the word and observations of all the eagles eyes watching the webcam. THANKS everyone!
If someone has noted a feeding schedule, pls let me know, so I can time it to be there for the next feed.  thumbsup
