!!! Renewed Peregrine Activity! September 03, 2011 - London - TD Tower CPF Postmaster Reports:
Sept. 3rd - 2011 Good Morning: I work at the City Center/ TD Towers in London Ontario, so far this summer there has been a peregrine hanging around the tower all summer. Sadly I have only seen one all summer not like last year there was two. Good news , I have seen two this morning(Saturday September 3, 2011) sitting close to the nest, now I believe it’s late in the season for mating. I thing is they may just be sizing each other up, I don’t have binoculars to see who is who. Well make sure I bring some to work on Sunday and with luck both will still be there. Will report back on Sunday if I find out anymore news.

!!! Chester is very active. August 24, 2011 - Toronto - Canada Square Building - Yonge and Eglinton CPF Postmaster Reports:
Today Wednesday August 24 I heard Chester squawking so I went out and sat in my usual spot after I had checked all likely perches in the neighbourhood. No-one was around. One of the peregrine followers came up to me and said he had just seen the youngster sitting on the front of the CIBC building on the Yonge street entrance. When I finally got there he had moved to the balcony level on the northwest side of the Canada Square building. I watched him for a bit and then he flew up Yonge street and was gone. I walked up Yonge for a bit but did not see him. On my way back to Y&E I saw a large peregrine fly onto the west face of the Heart and Stroke building. I wasn’t able to get colour then. When I was back at the Y&E corner I found a second peregrine six floors below the top bird. I managed to get colour on both birds at that point. I saw both the female and adult male. They must have been watching and as soon as Chester disappeared they returned to some of their favourite perches. It was very windy out and I guess the west face of the building afforded them the best protection. They are still around! !!! Three Pefa’s Active on site!

Multitudes of Starlings eating in the grass, too many to count. 2 very huge Crows in the middle of the road eating something not nice! 4 Hawks hovering over BJ's Home 1 Blue Jay picking at kibble on my porch, (cat watching). 4 Grackles on my back lawn that's it so far.
