!!! 3 Hatchlings confirmed!

Mark Nash Reports:

A quick visit today during a short break in the rain paid off. With a very quiet approach once we got to the roof, also paid off. Just as we arrived at the nest ledge, the clouds moved away and the sun appeared and lit up the entire building. We got really lucky indeed and the photos say it all!

Our approach was so quiet and with the sun at our backs, I managed to capture a few shots of Linn and her 3 new family members before she caught wind me. From that point onwards, our visit got progressively more interesting and intense!

It only took Linn but a second to take flight from the corner of the nest ledge where she was sunny herself with her three new hatchlings, and from that point onwards, both Paul and I spend the entire time scrambling and ducking to get to the access door and and to the safety of the concrete walls.

Linn is most certainly a Mariah offspring!! I have felt the wrath of Mariah during my visits to Rochester NY while I was atop of the Kodak tower with the DEC when we satellite tagging, and I can tell you that Linn is a full contact body hitting peregrine, just like her mother!!! Fierce and feisty! No pain, no gain type of gal!

We were asked to leave the roof area by Linn, and we obliged her,,, VERY QUICKLY!!

(Mark got some good photos of Linn doing her Mariah impression: http://www.peregrine-foundation.ca/w/2011/06/sightings/3-hatchlings-for-linn/)

Looks like Linn's housekeeping skills may have improved   

She is 100% her mother!  She is wearing what Rich always refered to as Mariah's "cranky look"    Love it!

Banding Day at the Scarborough Yellow Pages nest site. 3 healthy chicks!1

Mark Nash Reports:

A very good day indeed at the Yellow Pages nest site! A huge thank you to the management and staff at Yellow Pages for hosting the banding in the lobby for all to see again this year, it was very well attended and a huge success! 3 very healthy chicks were banded this afternoon, 2 males and 1 girl named Striker, Jet, and Rhiannon. Both resident adult peregrine parents were on hand to voice their opinion and defend the nest and the entire event went like clockwork without incident. With a packed lobby of spectators, the three young hatchlings were sexed, banded, named and quickly examined to check their overall health and returned to their parents on the nest ledge after a quick photo shoot, all in record time.

A big thank you to the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources for all of their support and for banding the young chicks, and to our special visitors from Rochester New York who travelled up from New State to see the banding.

The new resident adult female named Lyn was produced in 2007 in Rochester New York, banded Black 91 over Green V. The resident adult male is still Rueben, produced in 2003 from Wisconsin USA, banded Black 43 over Green M

Tracy Simpson Reports:

It was another fantastic banding at the Yellow Pages building today with a great crowd in attendance.  A big thank you to all that attended and helped to name our three newest baby falcons Striker, Jet and Rhiannon.  It was also great to see the crew from Rochester, New York at the banding as Linn, the resident female, was hatched there and the ladies were ecstatic to see that Linn was now celebrating a family of her own right here in Toronto!!  Enjoy the pictures!!

Can I tell you something?  Linn is a Mariah look-a-like, right down to a split wing tip on the right wing.  Truly beautiful.
