NOPE, can't do it jeanne, sorry. I can imagine though.  Your imagination would be accurate, Donna. The only good thing is the angels who are caring for this baby. I googled and one report said there has been an outpouring of support for this cat. A homeless man walked into the animal hospital, saw her and gave money. No one knows how she was burned I don't even need to see it to cry! I'm such a baby when it comes to animals, especially cats! |

Adult Sighting at the Brampton Courthouse
September 01, 2011 - Brampton - Courthouse
Tracy Simpson Reports:
Thank you so much to Toivo and Grace for their continued observations at the Brampton Courthouse!
Well I have only had a couple of confirmed sightings of Courtney in the last couple of weeks. One was quite impressive as she climbed a thermal till I could barely see her with binoculars. She was back on a ledge later that day. Milton and Truss have been around or on the building regularly, roosting and relaxing. On Sunday August 28th, I stopped today and found another adult female peregrine on a ledge. I went and got Grace to confirm this. She agreed. All light grey all the way down the back, but a very large buff patch on the top of the head,larger than Courtney’s. We could not see if she was a banded bird. A male came in and buzzed a pigeon, she rose to follow him but not really in an aggressive manner. The male left and we watched him climb a thermal till barely visible, then he drifted SW. This struck me as migratory behavior , so I dont believe it was Milton.

A Great Observation of the William Osler Family! August 28, 2011 - Etobicoke - William Osler Tracy Simpson Reports: A great observation made by Toivo at the William Osler site. I have seen O’Connor, the resident female, doing this exact same thing during the Fledge Watch this summer. Every once in a while she would go across the street where a plastic owl is attached to the roof of a low rise building and make sure that the “owl” stayed right where it was. I think she was encouraged that she had sufficiently frightened it as it never seemed to move!! It would stand to reason that O’Connor’s offspring have picked up on her meticulous territory cleaning habits and took a run at it themselves!! Thanks Toivo for another great observation! Here it is: I was in Woodbridge about 3 k up hwy 27 from the Osler site. I saw a bird dive bombing something. I will always investigate this. I drove around a building and got to observe a peregrine stoop maybe 5 times at a plastic owl on the corner of the industrial building across the street from me. I would think this would be one of the Osler juveniles. Quite funny to watch. Toivo  |
