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

Rhea Mae made several visits to the nest during the day, and returned again after dark.









Still there now, fast asleep. This is the fourth time recently I have seen her at the nest late in the evening; she has usually left around 3 or 4 a.m.

Both RM&T are on the ledge.

I missed that visit, Carol P., but here is one from a little earlier:

Thank you Alison! Very nice! One on the stand pipe now.

Rhea Mae is standing in her nest tray. Is egg #1 on its way? I hope so!

Both RM&T are on the ledge looking out at the new day. No egg there yet.

For the past few days, both ignored the nest box after her spending many nights in it or beside it.  Then last night she rediscovered it.  I also saw her laying down at the far end yesterday for awhile.  This morning both at far end perched looking out.  They don't seem anxious or anything - meaning not reacting as if there is an intruder, it's puzzling but they don't seem to have the sense of urgency for eggs that we do anymore.  Unless something is going on at an adjacent site - maybe that has their attention.

She was laying in the nest tray last night. Usually she's been on the corner. The King St nest is so close. Always a concern. She was late last year so I'm not too concerned yet.

One Falcon on ledge looking out.

Rhea Mae laid her egg outside the nest box or is that a spot???  I think it's an egg.  She laid there a long time and then got up and there it was...I think?

Rhea Mae laid her egg outside the nest box.  She just got up and it's right beside the box on the ledge!!

Well...at least it's where we can see it!

Do you think it is an egg kitty?  First I thought yes but now I'm doubting myself..but I saw her staring at it..

That cam is a beast at night. It's shaped like an egg. I guess we'll know for sure in the morning or if she broods it.

That whole ledge is gravel so it's not a big deal. Someone had noticed them scraping at the corner the other day.

That nest box is old, perhaps it's not solid anymore.  I know at MEC before they put in a new one last year, the bottom actually fell out.  Perhaps they know something we're not seeing on cam.

But you're right..the ledge is all gravel and at least it's protected there with the box on the side blocking the wind.  Just threw me off ... these falcons like to keep us on our toes. 

[Carol P.]

Just took a peek. It does look like an egg behind the tray. That's different. We'll know for sure come daylight.
