While we were walking we noticed Cirrus fly to the Hydro Tower and she landed right above us.  Before we knew it, Sir Adam Beck approached and we saw them copulate.

"I was not trying to hurt the owl," he said. "I did it to see if it would fly..."

"I would have shot it to see if it would fly, but I left my gun in my truck. So I had to haul off and kick it."

Kick em when their down! Pathetic!

UPDATE:

Newser) – Turns out that kicking an opposing team's mascot wasn't such a great idea: A Colombian soccer player who booted his opponents' lucky owl may face a fine and possibly even prison time after the creature died. The bird had wandered onto the field and been struck by a ball, at which point Panamanian Luis Moreno—whose team was losing 2-1—kicked the stunned bird off the pitch, the AP reports. It was taken to a vet, but died of shock two days later.

Moreno claims he was actually trying to help the owl. "I was not trying to hurt the owl," he said. "I did it to see if it would fly. What I wanted to do was get it off the field. The kick was a product of tension on the field at the time." He has been ordered to pay the vet's bill and do volunteer work at a zoo. Outraged fans are calling for Moreno to be prosecuted under Colombia's animal cruelty laws, which carry a maximum sentence of three months in prison.  Not punishment enough!!!

MAK'S pic of Mr T on the plank in between the NE and SE wings of the TS building. Just above the nest box, which is what Beauty was looking at this am.

He's pushing it

I keep looking for a white feather, if Archer still has it.

Told ya - we better fasten our seat-belts! This is going to be some breeding season.

I noticed that Beauty does NOT always follow him to the nest. This morning, while they were there together, there was NO e-chupping. So either Beauty is NOT interested and making it clear or..don't know, just lost my train of thought!

Posted today on CMNH:

"There were two peregrine falcons under the Brookpark Rd. bridge last night. It was getting to dusk when I stopped to check after walking the dogs, but there were definitely two peregrines on the bridge support. I am sorry I didn't have the scope to try and ID them!
Have a great day!

Lisa"

I do hope it's Seneca!

Thanks Ei, hope it's her!
