!!! Canada Square Banding Day
June 05, 2013 - Toronto - Canada Square Building - Yonge and Eglinton
Marion Nash Reports:
I apologise at the outset for the omission of some names.
Our thanks to all of the people who were instrumental in making this happen this year, namely:
Neil Armstrong and Cameron from Northam Realty Advisors provided space for the banding to take place and who take an active interest in the peregrine pair and their growing family at Canada Square.
Mark Heaton from Ministry of Natural Resources was responsible for banding the peregrines and another person from a different department in MNR also in attendance.
The intrepid Steve, from Solar Window Cleaning, who was responsible for extracting the young from their nest ledge. He worked solo this year, his third on the ledge!! One hand on the rope as the other fended off the attacks of an irate Haven and Stormin who dived on him incessantly. This year Steve only donned a *hoodie* as part of his defence – no helmet!!
Mark and Marion Nash, from The Canadian Peregrine Foundation, organised the banding.
Bruce, from Paragon Security, let us into the building.
As spectators there were more people from Northam Realty and a couple of CPF volunteers, Zoe and Lyn.
Haven and Stormin produced three youngsters again. This year the mix is two females and one male.
Haven provided a pigeon for their breakfast this morning and Stormin apparently provide some desiccated *piece of something* as an intended snack later on.
The young were extracted and replaced without incident and Steve, although subject to many *near misses*, came away unscathed.
We have the young male named Ramjet, black band, number W over 65 and white tape.
One female named Tinia, black band, number Y over 67 and red tape.
The second female,
Imagine, black band, number Y over 68 and blue tape.
After the banding I went to my usual perch from which I observe the nest. Haven sat on that ledge for two hours watching her brood. I went to the bank and when I came out Haven had left.
All three are very healthy young peregrines. In a few short weeks we will once again begin the fledge watch as the youngsters take to the air.

Photos to come
Ramjet as in Roger Ramjet??

Duncan Mills nest site banding - Friday June 7th at 10am is a go!
- All Reports
CPF Postmaster Reports:
June 6th - 2013
Just to re-confirm to all, banding of the Duncan Mill Road peregrine hatchlings will take place again this year on Friday June 7th - 2013 at the corporate head offices of Harlequin, located at 225 Duncan Mills Road. A meet and greet will start at approx. 9:30am with banding to take place at approx. 10am.
Please remember that that this banding time is an approximate time only! As you all know, we are working with wildlife along with many other logistical items and the safety of all involved in this process is our first and foremost concern.
We have only just now notified Quest and Kendal of our intentions, and as you might have expected, I can not post their reply!
Hope to you see all there!

 Still only 1 Our osprey chick goes from strength to strength here at Loch of the Lowes, and is already considerably bigger than when it hatched on Saturday. There have been plenty of fish today- the poor male keeps sitting on the edge of the nest as if ‘asking’ to be allowed to take a turn at incubation like he used to, but our female stubbornly refuses to budge, being very possessive of her chick. |
