Hi Janet,Peregrine's certainly are amazing. Peregrine means wanderer. Over the course of 5 years,CPF satellite tracked Peregrines. Some never left the general area they began in,others flew all the way to Columbia and back to Toronto. Most birds of prey wont fly over huge bodies of water,so we couldnt figure out how our Peregrines were sending hits back,from out in the ocean around the gulf area. We later learned they were landing on oil rigs to hopscotch across. Tracking,webcameras and whatever new technologies are to come continuously teach us more and more. Its what makes it all so fascinating. If you and others,have time have a look at CPFs Project Trackem.

Did you realize Mark Nash of CPF was in Rochester to help the team attach Quests tracking device? Just one more great connection CPF and the "Rochester gang" have.

I remember reading all these trackings a while ago. Nate's story was amazing. What ever happened to him? Thanks Bigfrank, anything you post is with interest!

Just curious you say Quest was a big girl. Was she bigger than Callidora? (cause Calli seemed huge)

If you want to talk huge then you should see Lady Pefa over at Kodak. Now that's a big falcon!

Oh phoo...here I go again... 

Let's just make sure the ark is seaworthy enough to cross the lake to Toronto!

In the overall picture of the building, which ledge is the nestbox on?

Thanks again to everyone for all you hard work!

Didn't she move to a few ledges? Is she back to the same one? 6th floor?

That last picture of her settled in really does say it all!   Sweet girl.  Amazing how she knew what to do a bit better, once it was familiar.

Ok, who cried when they saw the nest box!!! ME!! I'm a crier lately!

I've been away from my computer for the last couple days so I wasn't able to see what was happening. Now that I'm back I also have tears in my eyes. I am so happy things are working out so well for Quest & Kendal. Thank you so much to everyone that is watching over them and have helped them by putting up the beautiful nest box.

MAK--i'm confused---I know a Callidora, who was indeed a big girl, but she is a barn
owl born last summer in san marcos california--are we talking different birds--i think so

Breaking News from Tracy just posted on CPF..another egg!!! 

!!! Another Egg for Quest and Kendal!!!

April 23, 2011 - Toronto - Don Mills
Tracy Simpson Reports:
I am currently on the phone with Bruce Massey who is on-site at 220 Duncan Mill Road and he was pleased to see, mere moments ago as she stood up, that there is another egg resting beside her current one.  A few minutes later, Kendal arrived with food and landed on the ledge containing the nest tray.  Quest remained on her eggs in the nest tray, not getting up for a snack, as this male is providing a great deal more food than she needs.  Kendal has since left the nest ledge and stashed away the food for later consumption.  From the vantage point that Bruce now has, he can see that there is actually two pieces of food tucked away!!  One thing is for certain, Quest will never go hungry with Kendal on the scene!!!
