I've searched everywhere Alison and no sign of her.  September 29th is the last time I saw or heard her. Then it was quiet for a week, no sign of anyone save for workmen on all the towers and then suddenly Aria showed up on the ledge starting October 5th with Lucky.  

The only place I don't have access to is the rooftops of the three towers but given there are workmen on them pretty much daily the past month - I would like to think they'd have notified me or CPF if a body had been found.   I also have a friend that volunteers at Toronto Wildlife and she hasn't been brought in injured.


The condo tenants also keep an eye out, they would have said something if there was any sort of battle or disturbance as they have done so in the past.  Not to mention two watchers live in the towers.  Whatever happened must have happened off site - meaning away from our buildings.  

Great captures Alison and yes that one was Lucky.  It's easier to tell them apart now...one speckled and one white 

Betty Ann posted video of Cadence and Dad at the nest box earlier today.

Happy Friday from Aria     She seems to be settling in quite well as each week goes by.

Lucie swung by today and caught a few photos of Aria and Lucky.  She's having some challenges sizing photos to post here so she is okay with me posting them for her.  You can see the 'cam perch' I often reference in my posts.  O'Connor would rarely allow Lucky to perch there, that was 'her' domain and now you couldn't pry him off if you tried...lol...it's like he's gotten up there and isn't ever coming down!

*all photos taken by Lucie*

4.  Lucky dozing on his new home  

And finally ... I caught Cadence at home just now.  She came in quickly, poked around for 2 seconds and then took off.   She's still on cam but farther down the ledge, you can see how windy it is there..her feathers are ruffling in the wind.  I did see her band clearly but of course she was on the move so in my photo...it's a blur..lol.  So both sisters safe and sound 

She looks very much like Beauty doesn't she. 

I was just about to post! Somebody remains there now.  It has been terribly windy and rainy here during the night and this morning, and I'm assuming the wind reached Etobicoke as well.  I'm so glad to see Aria and Lucky now!

Yes it has been a wild day with the winds and rain.  Aria was riding the thermals again this morning and chatting away to Lucky all the while. 

Monday, October 30th - Lucky and Aria at the nest box.

Wet, windy and cold today.  Aria has spent most of the day on the ledge keeping herself warm and dry.  

I remember Bobbin too     I hope they can catch the evil person that is doing this and they better punish him severely! 

Thank you for the article and photos Alison.

Aria and Lucky morning bonding.

From their site tonight:

Dear fellow falcon watchers

It is with deep sadness that we advise that the second chick has died either overnight or this morning. We are unaware as to the reason for death and will seek advice from the Victorian Peregrine Falcon Association

We hope that next breeding season will be more successful.
