He's probably telling her about how the banding brought back those awful memories when Frank grabbed him and wrapped him in a towel and put him in the box and he was forced to sit in the dark for hours with no food!!   Thank you MAK, I knew you'd find him  Yeah and now poor Frank has a bad rap!  Oh, do you think he remembers that Carly? Maybe BF shouldn't come to Rochester in the near future!  I'm sure he remembers ...humans = bad!  I think we should send Frank down for fledge watch...he can stand below with a big blanket...  |

Wicked storm front moving through right now from the heat. The thunder was so loud I jumped out of my chair and I"m not afraid of storms but this one is loud and intensive. Pouring like mad now and god knows we need the rain.
We all need rain but I can do without the lightning! Yikes...16 people just taken to hospital due to lightening strikes, they are suffering from burns. It happened in Whitby at a Rib Fest Event they are saying - east of Toronto. Storm is moving east so take cover if you're in that direction!! Hopefully Rochester will be spared, that noise will scare Orion! |

!! ICICI Eglinton & the DVP - Another new nest for 2012!! Two Fledglings Rescued!!
July 09, 2012 - International, National and Local News
Mark Nash Reports:
July 9th - 2012
Two fledglings peregrines were observed wandering around on the ground at 7:30 am in the morning, guarded by several members of the local community until CPF was notified. Bruce and Kathy from the CPF to the rescue!
Well, it seems that every year over the past several years we have discovered a new nest site that has evaded detection and is only discovered when fledglings start appearing on the ground. This year is no exception! Today, reports started flooding in to the CPF head office phones, mobile phones and e-mail of a report of two young falcons wandering around on the roadway narrowly being missed by on coming vehicle traffic. A huge thank you to Randy and his family who spent most of the day protecting and guarding the two fledglings until CPF was finally notified and dispatched to the site at that ICICI building in the Eglinton Ave east and Don Valley Parkway.
What really adds injury to insult, (at least for us), is that we have been getting reports of peregrine activity in this area for the past six plus years. For this same period of time, we have spend many hours each year and never have we seen been able to find a nest site. This is the first year that we have had evidence of actual nesting activity and offspring being produced.
Again thanks to Randy’s persistence with the many telephone calls that he made with most everyone not given him much attention and assistance, he was finally forwarded to the Toronto Wildlife Centre in Downsview, who identified his photos as peregrines and then called the CPF.
With an incredible story to follow of the days events by all, the two young fledglings were eventually rescued from the roadway. A huge thank you also goes out to Bruce and Kathy from the CPF who responded so quickly and managed to facilitate they rescues.
More of the story to follow. Here are some of the many photos that were sent into us by Samantha, Dominic and Randy.
Stay tuned for additional details of the rescue, banding and release back to their parents!
Now a new fledge watch!! HELP!!!!!!
