Tracy Simpson Reports:

I opened up the web camera this morning as I knew that Sante and Cass were soooooo due for a hatch.  What a great morning wake up to have the adult stand and move for a moment revealing the four eggs.  I could see something different in the egg at the top of the screen in that it looked to have a pip in it!!  Since then the adult has been standing between the eggs and the camera but definately STANDING.  Babies are coming!!!  Right now!!!!

 Looks Like a Hatch at Etobicoke Sun Life Yesterday May 3rd

Tracy Simpson Reports:

A great big thank you and “good job!!â€� goes out to Kathy for her notice of the change in Jack’s behavior a few days ago and the change in O’Connor’s yesterday.  I travelled out to Eobicoke and went to a higher elevation for a look at whether I could see evidence of a hatch and although I couldn’t see shell fragments or little ones, I am 99.99999% sure a baby came yesterday.  O’Connor was semi standing in the tray and looking sooooooo uncomfortable.  The feathers down her spine were each standing on end and she was in brood mode.  She was not willing to share what she hid beneath her and Jack was definately keeping an eye on me.  He did several silent stealth fly-bys and 4 pigoens decided that it was wise to hide behind me cause I would make a good sheild.  I did manage to get a not so great shot of him as he tried for a sneak up.  (Thanks O’Connor for the heads up that he was coming, I owe you one.)  I will be back to watch for first food in and more hatches here in Etobicoke.  Congratulations Sun Life, I think you’ve got your first hatch!!!!!!!!!!!

First hatch for KathyQ and Will this morning.  DEF caught it!!   

 

OMG..I just realized...well that I need more coffee but this:

There have been reports of pefas near there for a while including Juliet (I think) from Syracuse

Juliet!!  She used to be at William Osler!!  She was injured and rehabbed twice and we never heard of her again after the second release!  ...OMG that would be wonderful if it was her.  Fans of hers had asked about her just last year - if we had had any sightings of her!

Thanks Kitty!  I wasn't sure....I'll go back to my cave now 

If you meant Holcim in Mississauga - 4 eggs have been confirmed as of Tuesday!  Also..photos' coming soon of Burlington Lift Bridge's 4..count em..4 hatches!!!    

!!! 4 eggs confirmed!

We have just received word from Holcim that they have confirmed that there is 4 eggs in the nest bowl! This is great news.
Congratulations Holcim!

ps:  And Yay for Diamante - I hope it's him too  

That's wonderful Nic, thank you for providing the explanation!  I hope they take to the new nest box and accept it!  

ps: I need to brush up on my french too! 

As per the article, they removed the eggs and placed them in an incubator.  They've put in 'dummy' eggs for the falcons.  They dont' mention if they will return the hatchlings to them once the eggs hatch - they could move the chicks to the nest box once hatched and the parents would find them.  I know that's been done out in Edmonton in the past quite successfully.

Three heads came up for 8:15 pm feed!!  Saw eggshell come out a few hours ago but first sight of the third just now 

Etobicoke Sun Life Getting Ready
April 30, 2013 - Etobicoke - Sun Life Centre
Tracy Simpson Reports:

On Sunday, Bruce and I attended the Etobicoke Sun Life nest site to check up on O’Connor and Jack’s progress towards hatching eggs. We travelled back along Eagle Road for a view of the nest tray and we could see that O’Connor was in the tray laying down with her tail braced against the edge and her back feathers somewhat elevated. We decided to take an elevated look to determine whether any of the eggs had hatched yet as she is due any day now.

I found O’Connor in the tray and she was all dreamy faced. She was sleeping for the most part and boy is she ever cute… …when she’s sleeping! She was positioned like a muffin top but not quite the full arch that we saw last year when her first egg had hatched. There was no evidence of a shell or a young one beneath her yet but Bruce and I agree that she is very close. Jack was not in the area at the time and was most likely out on an evening hunt as O’Connor had clearly already eaten. Of course I took a jillion pictures in the hopes of a quick reveal and I was not disappointed when she repositioned. My little superzoom can do some pretty amazing distances. No little heads yet in view but close!!

I will be back to check on the pair again today to see if we have our first hatch at Etobicoke Sun Life.
