I do believe Nova laid her 4th egg at 3:36 am, while we were sleeping!
We'll have to wait until she moves to verify.



Here comes dad!



Thank you Neander for coming in so we could see all 4 beautiful eggs!

DON MILLS : Before the season starts, I just want to say a proper goodbye to another one of our resident peregrines, Mystery. He was a great mate to Quest since 2016. They had 22 successful hatches and fledges (tho some were lost after). He was a great Dad, taught his young well, looked out for them, fed them and was always on the alert! He was famous for his many, many alarm calls, which his young picked up quickly and were known to join in on the calls lol. I loved watching their interactions... He would try so hard to get egg time and then try to look after or feed the kids but Quest would only give him small amounts of time... It was so funny and cute. He will be missed.

But there are posts on the real Peregrine Foundation website with a hint that there is a new man, Quest's son from a couple of broods ago: http://peregrine-foundation.ca/w/c/sightings/toronto-don-mills/

I hope that Mystery is ok. Happy that Quest is still with us.

Wonderful news!

Frigid morning.  After a rainy cold front moved through overnight, Rochester woke up to a temp in the 20s. Brrrrr!

Nova gave us a quick peeks of her 3 eggs early this morning.



Neander greets his eggs.

4/1/23 April Fools Day! Nest Box Visits

Spent a few hours downtown this morning. Watcher Larry O and his dog Gimli spent some time with me. So nice seeing them!

I spent most of my watch parked in front of the War Memorial aka Blue Cross Arena. From there I had a good view of the nest box and the front and south side of the Times Square Bldg. It was a warm and windy morning with temps in the 60`s. Sadly, this nice weather will come to an end this evening.  It will be in the 20s tomorrow morning.

In the meantime,  no 3rd egg yet...

Here are some pics from today.






Egg #3 @ 4:12 pm!

Warren, MI:  The Warren watchers have named 64/K = Wilma and her unbanded mate = Fred.  Wilma just laid her 2nd egg a few minutes ago.

They do have a web cam and a FB page if anyone is interested .
