It must be a robin with it's days and nights crossed

I remember the year that a very loud kestral kept screeching.  We were remarking about it and how it best be quiet before Mariah got ticked.  Then off the tower she came!

I never heard the Kaver-kestral story! Wow!

When they first reported that it was not leaking badly, I doubted it.  Then today came this report.  Sheesh.

A work in progress......

Very nice.  Is that a Shiba Inu in the Friends album from April 26?

Inu Shiba a long time ago.  

I get it.  Who knew you knew Inu, Carol?  

If you knew Inu, like I knew Inu

Ok I know that was lame

I don't know, Donna, but there are lots of falcons in Toronto and, though there are battles, it doesn't seem to be like this. Wish also that we knew where Freedom is.

When I look at Archer, I immediately think of his grandparents.  That helps but my heart will always be with Mariah and Kaver.

I think the site now has a monitor so folks can watch.  I don't know what is going on but perhaps there are some territorial battles causing this?? 

I went back to copy and paste from this year and last:

 So far, so good

Doug Garbutt Reports:

Our resident birds are very ellusive this year as they don’t show up much on the side of our bulding where you can see them. They stay alot on the canal side which we don’t really have access to. The good news is that our management has agreed to replace our monitor. We are hoping to have it before we have a hatch,( if we are indeed lucky enough to have a hatch) this year. We do think the birds are taking good care of their 4 eggs to this point. If you recall, last year we had 4 eggs, only to have them destroyed by either an intruder or the rattled pair of residents here. As soon as our monitor is installed, I will bring regular updates to this site.

!! Deja Vu - The 4 eggs are gone!

Doug Garbutt Reports:

I last reported we had 4 eggs here. The eggs have somehow disappeared. Just like last year! 3 falcons were on site at the time the eggs were being incubated. Not sure if this is the reason. We now have a new monitor & will be able to see what’s happening in the box again. Today 2 falcons were in the box. One of them had a radio transmitter on it.



Here is the posting from 2009 from the Port Colbourne site:

 !! Big Problems Here!!!
April 28, 2009 - Port Colborne - ADM Mill
Doug Garbutt Reports:

On April 25th a falcon was spotted chasing another falcon forcing it to within 6′ of the water. I think there are 3 falcons here & a dispute is in progress. When I returned to work on Monday 27th , the clutch of 4 eggs was reduced to 2! To add to that, after about 3 weeks of hard incubation (we barely had a chance to view any eggs during this time), the birds were off the eggs most of the day even although it was a warm 70 degrees. Today was the same thing, the birds were hardly on the eggs all day but the temp. was a cool 55 degrees. It was also obvious that the birds seemed a bit on edge. I’m not sure what this means for the chance of these eggs being viable but we’re still hoping.

This clutch is toast

Doug Garbutt Reports:

Today it is confirmed that there are 3 falcons here. They were all seen at the same time by Rolf. And if we were wondering if the remaining 2 eggs will be able to hatch, we are wondering no more as the birds were not on them all day or in the morning when I arrived at work at 6:00 am. I think our only hope to have young ones this year is if they have another clutch. We are also wondering if it is possible that the 3rd falcon could be Freedom. It is very difficult to get a good look at bands here in this situation as the falcons are guarding the nest box at all times and this is our best spot to view them. The intruding falcon is not able to get close enough for us to view his or her bands (providing it has any). Don’t worry though, it’s just a matter of time before we get that information.

It's a cool 43 degrees. Sue Chandler said they had snow and sleet today!

I just looked out and it is windy and snowing

That's what I would say, Joyce.

Plus, what the heck is a PM?

Prime Minister?  

I do think a PM is a private message.

Peregrine meister?

That's what I would say, Joyce.

Plus, what the heck is a PM?

I can't get on either.  I was able to look at it a few weeks ago but couldn't remember my password.  It didn't recognize my email to send me another password and when I tried to register new, it said the email was in use.

I did try writing to the person in that organization but have heard nothing back
Very frustration

Fascinating.  Amazing how they know something is wrong.

I have to work until 6 but I'm going after that!  Hope lots of people attend!!!  These are the folks that helped Mariah when she was injured (and after Carol and Brian rescued her)! 

Oh, no!!!!!!!!!!!  What horrible news!!!! I am so sorry!!!!

!!! Cameras down, No hatch yet
April 25, 2010 - Toronto - Sheraton Centre

Linda Woods Reports:

Both cameras are down, and at this time I don’t have a clue as to why. Incubation continues, and with the cooler weather today, Rhea Mae and Tiago are hanging tight to the eggs.
