Linn (2007) - Scarborough/Yellow Pages

[Donna]

The head count rounds from this weekend tally. Not all birds have been resighted as of yet but that could have just been timing and increased activity levels due to the cooler air. Here's what we have so far.

Yellow Pages - two adults confirmed
ICICI - two adults and both juveniles confirmed
Duncan Mill Road - adult female confirmed, adult male in rehab
Toronto Sheraton - both adults confirmed and one juvenile heard
King Street - both adults confirmed and one juvenile confirmed
North York - both adults confirmed
Etobicoke Sun Life - both adults and three juveniles confirmed
MEC - juvenile female confirmed
William Osler - both adults and two juveniles confirmed

Given that the birds are now more active and moving about it is making it harder to be certain of seeing everyone. The tape color on the juveniles is helping to be sure of who we are seeing. The data keeps pouring in and we will keep you updated as the counts progress.

LOL, I just posted this the same time as you Ei under Canada Falcons!!!

Thank you!  This is the first avatar worthy one I've taken since Ananta in 2007!

I posted a profile view too of whoever it is. MAK thinks it's Voyager.  Other opinions are welcome. All I know is both girls were under the wing having a snack when this one posed for me.

Linn, Rueben and Neira at Home
July 24, 2013 - Scarborough - Yellow Pages

Bruce Massey Reports:

I was out at the Yellow Pages nest site to check in on Linn, Rueben and the kids over the past few days.  On Saturday after the storm, I did have both adults confirmed but there was no sign of any juveniles.  Tuesday when I arrived, I checked in with security and learned that the juveniles hadn’t been positively identified since last Thursday.  I set out for a recon walk of the area and was able to spot one juvenile on a building in the territory.  I set up my scope and waited for a view of the tape colour that each of our banded young ones has over the USFW band and my patience paid off.  I was able to positively identify Neira by her red tape healthy and screaming for food.  During my visit I was unable to sight Loki but it may have just been my timing.  Yesterday I was back on site and again had Linn, Rueben and Neira who was actively chasing around the local resident birds.  As hard as she tried, and there was one good stoop, Neira still came up empty taloned each time.  Loki did not make an appearance yet but he is such a great flyer that he is most likely exploring further afield and it may take a few visits to catch him at home.  We will be back to check in again and look to spot little Loki and will keep you updated on how the family is progressing.

Thanks Bruce and Donna!

Bruce was out at Yellow Pages this morning and found both adults sitting on the ledges. They were too far in for a confirmation on their identities but he believes they are Linn and Rueben. Thanks to Bruce for the update.

I was just rummaging around in the CPF site...I had missed the banding photos from Linn & Rueben...they were pending last time I was there.

Anyway, not sure who the photographer is, but they caught a few phenomenal ones of Linn...like this one...

She was one of my favorite; "Little Linn' not so little any more--she looks like a force to be reckoned with.  Another beauty.  Christiane
