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

[Bonnie]

Sometimes no news is not really good news.  But most of the time we don't know what becomes of the falcons.  With the web cams, it brings us right into their harsh world.  Just keep your fingers crossed.  I know you will have your eyes to the skies.

I haven't seen anyone on the ledge this morning.  Hope they stay safe...

[Dumpsterkitty]

A peregrine at last!  Except it's an Adult!  (I think it's Rhea Mae, but I haven't gotten a good look at her band)

[Dumpsterkitty]

Well...I guess it was Rhea Mae 'cause there's Tiago!  I guess all the babies have left the ledge!

[Bonnie]

Good luck Anne and boots.

!!! Finally, Cinnamon and Kate Fledge!! AM report.
June 27, 2011 - Toronto - Sheraton Centre
CPF Postmaster Reports:

Monday June 27th - 2011 AM report:
The morning started with a flurry of calls, incoming e-mail and photo snap-shots regarding the Toronto Sheraton nest site. Shortly after 10am this morning, both Kate and little Cinnamon left the ledge and took their first flight, sort of.

While Cinnamon had earlier tried his flight skills earlier with disastrous results leaving him downed on the sidewalk at just feet of busy traffic at York and Richmond streets in downtown Toronto, Kate has yet to take her maiden flight and test her wings.

Had it not been for the heroic and dedicated efforts of the caring staff at the Keg Restaurant protecting Cinnamon with a box and literally standing on guard duty until CPF fledge watch volunteers arrived to complete the rescue, it is very likely that he would have been trampled or run over in the swarm of down town traffic.

While the two fledglings remain together on the roof top of 120 Adelaide - (a favourite first landing spot of many of the Sheraton juveniles over the years), this roof top is much lower in elevation compared to the 43 story nest ledge elevation at the Toronto Sheraton.

One of many photos sent in today - (this one from Eileen in New York state) shows both resident adults on the nest ledge checking out the situation just after the two fledged this morning.

Anne just called and asked me to pass it along that Cinnamon & Kate both fledged, did very well, and flew over to the building across the street, which is quite tall, and made it!

Wonderful news!  May they stay safe!

[Dumpsterkitty]

Momma's back on the ledge...I'm guessing she's watching Kate & Cinnamon across the road...

[Paul Hamilton]

Good to hear that they are both in a safe place.  I suspect Rhea Mae and Tiago will up the food supply now that they have both finally fledged.  They must both have taken off very early this morning.

Such wonderful news!  We have been waiting so long for the right moment.  Anne and friends' jobs have really just begun.
