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

[windatmyback]

Hey Everyone;
I was to the nest site today around 11:00am ? and waited for a handing off. I missed it trying to confirm leg bands off the male. The two of them are really quick about it. I tried to take a picture but the actual camera blocks a clear view of the little ones. Rhea Mae and Tiago have nested in the lower left hand side of the nest box, as they did last year. This makes it difficult to take an actual photo. Altho the image on the webcam is better angle, it is a lot different actually viewing the nest live. The lens has a lot of dust and dirt on it, throwing off a lot glare. I hope to clean it when we band the birds.
I could see two chickies... oh so sweet and so teeny tiny.... but cannot confirm a third. But I will take the word and observations of all the eagles eyes watching the webcam. THANKS everyone!
If someone has noted a feeding schedule, pls let me know, so I can time it to be there for the next feed.

Might this be Linda incognito?    Welcome aboard!

I definitely saw 3.  There was another feeding around 3...so every couple of hours...and there were 3 heads for sure.  Of course, I got home & went to copy the pictures off my flash drive...and nothing!  I was in such a hurry to leave I guess I copied them to the common drive at work instead of my flash...tomorrow for sure!

I believe "Wind" is currently nesting at Mt.Sinai Hospital, on University Ave, Just up the street from the Sheraton Nest site. Don't have an ID on the male as yet. Need a power scope for that. Wind paid us a visit last year when we observing the Mt.Sinai nest site. She came very close to us. We we dove for cover, she came to rest on a area, where I was able to confirm her leg bands. Friday, the same person was again observing the pair and confirmed the band colours of the female, but not the numbers. But given creatures of habit, her resting spots are the same as last year, so I'm confident that it is Wind nesting at Mt.Sinai Hospital.  That would be wonderful if it is Windwhistler, as her mate. Both Wind and Windwhistler were hatched in 1998, so that is pushing the age. Windwhistler was hatched in Etobicoke,( Toronto )

I was so happy to here that Wind was ok last year.

I'm glad to know about Wind, too.  I was of mixed feelings, when Rhea Mae took over, as I was thrilled to see her, but worried about Wind.  I sure would be happy to know that Windwhistler was with Wind.  They made a good couple for a long time.  But, with two families for so many years, Windwhistler may have worn himself out!    Anyway, thanks for the updates from cam watchers and Linda Woods aka Wind!

Linda, thank you so much!  I am so glad that Wind is around.  I was thrilled to know where Rhea Mae is but sad when she displaced Wind.  It is a story we are so familiar with now with our birds.  It also gives hope that Mariah is around, which I think is the case!

3:11PM...feeding going on right now...3 beaks seen so far...

[Dumpsterkitty]

She's back sitting on them...the best capture of 3 eyases is attached.  Can't say if there might have been another under the pile...

Linda Woods Reports:
Finally, I was  able to capture and witness a feed.  After so many days of missing it by a few minutes. Today, I just arrived and Rhea Mae  began feeding her three little ones.

One egg still to hatch.

Oh Linda!  You've brought happy tears to my eyes.  Can one doubt Mother Nature when one sees such beautiful eyases and a caring parent.  Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful photos with us!
