I am just happy she is somewhere where we can see her, and not just a blip on a map.

Scrape Scrap:Kendal Attacks
May 04, 2011 - Toronto - Don Mills
Frank Butson Reports:
CPF Volunteer,Ann Brokelman reporting:
Today was very exciting,if for only a minute or so.  Kendal was sitting on a ledge,when all of a sudden the warning call went out.  I looked up to see a Turkey Vulture. Kendal  flew off and that seemed to be it,but moments later the Turkey Vulture was behind the building,with a ticked off Peregrine Falcon in hot pursuit.  Over and over Kendal  hit the Turkey Vulture.  Thanks to Ann,for  photos of the exciting event!
See the photos at:

To answer Donna,incubation continues. Kendal and Quest are sharing duties.

Thanks,Donna for asking, and thank you to BF and Ann for the report and pics of Kendal with TV. 
I left work yesterday and stopped because  I saw the  ugliest thing sitting in the road.  It flew up when I passed, so of course I stopped and then saw three turkey vultures sitting in trees on the side of the road.  I pulled out my binocs and just sat and watched them.  They are big and  "big ugly".   So good for Kendal for sounding the alarm and chasing this  big, ugly TV from the nest. 
Actually, if someone can answer...how much of a threat are TVs to the nest?  I thought they were only attracted to carrion, and by the scent or gasses given off by decaying matter.  Do TVs prey on nests too?
I know our parents downtown have been subject to TVs  and given chase as well.  Can anyone inform?

Turkey Vultures are usually just floating through the area on migration.  They may be attracted to the caches left by the Peregrines on top of buildings.  As far as I know, they are no threat to Peregrines or their young.  They are just in the wrong spot at the wrong time, when it comes to a protective Peregrine Papa.  

Personally, I think Turkey Vultures are handsome birds.  If you get a chance to visit with Barf at Wild Wings, you might change your opinion.   wub2
