Holcim Pair Hanging Tight
January 29, 2012 - Mississauga - HolcimTracy Simpson Reports:
After the weekend we had last weekend, we decided to try our luck again with the Holcim pair. When we arrived, the female was on one of the buildings right in the centre of the property. Within a couple of minutes, the starlings that were lounging along the east side took to the air and we looked for a potential culprit. Next thing we see is the male perched above the female in the same area of the plant. After a few fairly good looks, I can say for sure that he is a Canadian born and bred boy as his solid black band was clearly visible. We went down to a local park to check out some of the offshore wildlife, figuring that the pair might move in our absence. By the time we returned, they were still sitting in the same spot as we left them looking like a pair of gargoyles.

King St Pair in the Area
January 29, 2012 - Toronto - King StreetTracy Simpson Reports:
After visitng the Holcim site, Frank and I went down to King St to check in on Erin and her mate. The male has yet to show us who he is but not for lack of us trying. Erin was sitting on the retaining wall above the nest ledge and we didn’t have a sight on the male. She took off after a few minutes and we decided to get a slice of pizza. Looking out the window as we ate, in flies the male! Gulp goes the food and we grab our gear for a look. He drops down into what Linda told me is called “the shoulder” on the northeast corner of the building and emerges a good half hour later all messy. He had obviously stashed lunch up there. He sat for some time, even through a quick snowfall that he didn’t like, before taking off to go visit his lady. She was on the Dundee building digesting her own large crop. He came back and landed on the top of 20 Toronto St. where I was able to get the scope on him. In the failing light, I was only able to get one positive look as he took off. This male has a solid black Canadian band on his right leg. We’ll be back to try again on a nice sunny day to try and definatively identify the mate of Erin.

Apparently Beauty missed it also! 
What's their story, how long was Adelaide tracked? How far back does this go? It's like Ancient Faces but with Falcons.
