CPF Postmaster Reports:

Hello All
We got a report from our volunteer John Shiposki that, as of 9/17, the two juvies are still hanging around Niagara Falls. One is even still trying to beg for food from the parents. He got this great photo of one of them that hopefully he won’t mind me sharing.

GREAT PIC!

Today marks the start of- fall- here in Rochester my favorite season! I found Beauty on the HSBC building east side and I could see that she was eating on a chunk of red meat.

She finished it off and flew to the west toward the river. On my way over to...

We've been seeing this for some time now. A few years back, we might have prayed that the Greenfinches would leave off, as they would gang up on anything else and hog the feeders. Now, I would give anything to see one. I think the last winter saw only one or two turning up. We have been ok with Chaffinches, but of recent weeks, not a one.

So sad Bobbie!

September 13, 2011 - Toronto - Canada Square Building - Yonge and Eglinton
CPF Postmaster Reports:

Canada Square update Sept. 13th - 2011

This morning, very early, I heard young Chester squawking insistently and persistently. I have not heard that for a while now. I did not go out because these days by the time I am outside the peregrine has usually gone.

However, I was out for a stroll this afternoon and from way up Yonge street I could see *at least one* peregrine flying around the Canada Square building. By the time I reached the intersection of Yonge and Eglinton I determined there were three peregrines flying around the building. They gave me a wonderful display for about ten minutes, talon touching, chasing, swooping and even a few dives before disappearing north. I wish I knew where they went as there are not many tall buildings in the direction they took.

I definitely saw the resident adult female this afternoon as one bird was much larger than the other two. I believe one of the peregrines was Chester and the third possibly the adult male. I did not have my binoculars so was unable to get any colour on any of them.

This evening just as I began to write this I, again, heard Chester calling. My word but he is loud!! I did go out but by the time I was outside the peregrine had gone or was holed up somewhere roosting for the night.

So I believe both adults are still around and one of the youngsters who I believe to be Chester, the youngest.

Seagulls once dominated the light posts along the Pensacola Bay bridge.
They'd jostle each other for the perch like kids playing musical chairs. The biggest, most aggressive ones would reign supreme for the prime fish-viewing spot of Pensacola Bay to the west and Escambia Bay to the east.
By the end of this summer, though, a bigger sea bird predator has become lord of the bridge.
Most mornings, several eagle-like ospreys crouch on several poles, scanning the bays for the silver flicks of schools of mullet shooting through the water below.

Last pic is that a plane or a falcon? Archer just took off at that time?
