(movie) Beauty jumps in nest when she heard and saw the fireworks.

Zoom zoomed off the ledge! 


Zoom the Columbus, OH falcon yesterday morning accidently while flapping and hopping was gone from the nest box. It was very foggy. We have found out later that she landed on another ledge nearby. She returned to the box last evening. She took off again this morning.

Banding Day at Duncan Mill Road
June 08, 2013 - Toronto - Don Mills

CPF Volunteer Reports:

A collaborative affair at 220 and 225 Duncan Mill Road
This a joint affair as Quest and Kendal are *tenants* of 220 Duncan Mill Road and Harlequin Enterprises hosts the banding at 225 Duncan Mill Road. The joint operation has worked well for the peregrine pair and their young over the past three years!
Grateful thanks to the employees of Harlequin who made a wonderful donation to the Canadian Peregrine Foundation.
Grateful thanks to Harlequin for their sizable donation.
Our thanks also go to the following people for their roles in today’s proceedings. I apologise in advance if I have missed some of the names.
Donna Hayes of Harlequin for making space available to host today’s activities at 225 Duncan Mill Road
Shanaz, building manager, of 220 Duncan Mill Road for continuing to host the peregrines and who *renews their lease* every year.
Mark Heaton of Ministry of Natural Resources who has been banding the peregrines for many years
Craig Brown also from the Ministry of Natural Resources
 

Mark and Marion Nash of the Canadian Peregrine Foundation, who orchestrate the bandings
David who assisted Marion with recording the vital statistics of the three young ones
The many people who showed up to share in, and support, the event
The *Rochester contingent* who take an active interest in *their bird* Quest
The many fledge watchers and volunteers from CPF in Toronto.
Last but certainly not least, the *villain* of the day, rock climber and trainer of some of the chaps who *serve and protect us*, John Miller. He is the man who often *lives life on the edge* in the city, extracting the young peregrines from their ledges on banding days. Without his invaluable help many bandings would not have been able to proceed. Not only does John *go over the top* when making an extraction but he also sits on the ledge, whilst the youngsters are being banded, and has to deal with an irate pair of peregrines intent on doing him damage for his part in the proceedings! Quest was not a happy mom while John was up there today! Our thanks to you John!
First to be banded was Luna, 28 days old. Her black band number is Y over 69 and she has yellow tape for easy spotting
Next was a very feisty Carina, 26 days old. Her black band number is Y over 70 and she has red tape for spotting.
Last was Kimani, also a feisty little female. Her black band number is Y over 71 and for easy identification she has blue tape.
All three females are hale and healthy!
Good luck to the fledge watchers this year. When being weighed these three presented their talons, grabbed gloves and hung on whilst shouting their disapproval.
