Rhea Mae and Tiago's Webcam - Toronto - Canadian Peregrine Foundation

[MAK]

Thanks Kris & Carly!  I don't know why I didn't remember that...I remembered all about 2-timing Windwhistler, but not that Tiago was his son...hope he doesn't take up that habit too!

Jack in Canada is a two-timer also. How do they keep up?

The same as human males they do alot of lying!

Is there a site out there where I could enter band colors and numbers to help identify falcons, or any other banded bird?  Just asking.  Thanks!!

Morning Guru,

I know there is a database of band #'s from the mid-west, not sure what the URL is.  Maybe someone could post it?  It's sometimes hard to track down a band #, since there is no universal list.

I doubt he'd try it with Rhea Mae.  She's got big yellow feet and she knows how to use them!

I know I have it in my research folder at home-but it's only mid-west peregrines.  The other site is the Patuxent bird banding lab (again, link at home)...but you have to send in a band # and wait for a response.  A few other state sites list the bands used in a given year in their annual peregrine report, but it's spotty.

Rhea Mae ousted Wind but I thought Wind showed up at another building last year.  Does anyone remember this?

Not sure if she has been seen this year.  I hope so.

Not sure if she has been seen this year.  I hope so.  

Wind appeared at Mt Sinai Hospital last year after a one year absence (it's not far from the Sheraton actually!) with a new mate however due to rooftop repairs they were not successful nesting.  I heard the repairs are ongoing for this year as well as the entire roof has to be replaced and given it's a Hospital, it's not something that can be postponed without jeopardizing the safety of patients and equipment inside.  

She has been sighted though, a few weeks ago Linda said two were on site and last week someone saw one on site so not sure what is happening there.  Im sure Linda will update the site once she has something to report!

Four eggs for Rhea Mae & Tiago!

!!! 4 EGGS At The Sheraton Toronto!
March 30, 2010 - Toronto - Sheraton Centre
Linda Woods Reports:

Tiago and Rhea Mae now have 4 Eggs. The image is difficult to see for most of the day, except for those early birds that are up before the crack of dawn.  But, just by chance I clicked on the Toronto Sheraton Camera and finally , Luck, 4 eggs sitting in the tray. Now that’s enough Rhea Mae, start incubating!

Wow!  Four eggs for Rhea Mae and Tiago.  

I do have to agree with Linda.  I hope that there won't be any more.  There are too few Watchers in Toronto to cover all the nest sites and the tall buildings popping up around the Sheraton are hazardous to the young fledglings.

Linda Woods Reports:

A quick visit hoping for a photo opportunity, with no luck. Both Rhea Mae and Tiago are hanging tight for incubation. I’ll have to try another day for a picture of the 4 eggs.

Both adults are in attendance.
