April 30, 2013 - Mississauga - Holcim
CPF Postmaster Reports:
April 30th - 2013

We have just received word from Holcim that they have confirmed that there is 4 eggs in the nest bowl! This is great news.
Congratulations Holcim!

ps:  And Yay for Diamante - I hope it's him too  

There's another Holcim in Buffalo ...grain elevators near the lake shore. There have been reports of pefas near there for a while including Juliet (I think) from Syracuse

No silly, come back out!

I didn't know it was another Holcim either until a few days ago when I realized the reports were for what I knew as the grain elevators.  

Sort of like ADM-lots of pefas like ADM mills LOL!

OMG..I just realized...well that I need more coffee but this:

There have been reports of pefas near there for a while including Juliet (I think) from Syracuse

Juliet!!  She used to be at William Osler!!  She was injured and rehabbed twice and we never heard of her again after the second release!  ...OMG that would be wonderful if it was her.  Fans of hers had asked about her just last year - if we had had any sightings of her!

[~Sage~]

No, the BuffalocHolcim. No eggs. They just found the box.

Crossing my fingers that those black over green bands say 21 over R for Diamante!

Ei, you got the "J" initial right...it was Jean, b/g 98/V from Syracuse 2008. Actually, Holcim in Buffalo has a nestbox, but it was only investigated by peregrines once or twice, but no egg laying residents. Jean and mate were using the Cargill grain elevator. Last year I had 2 there, but not working in Buffalo, I have slacked on my watch duties there.

Sage - are you saying that a pair of falcons have found the nestbox at Buffalo Holcim?

[~Sage~]

Yes, but apparently NOT the same female seen the last couple years. I don't know if it may be the same we think may have had a nest failure at old Cargill grain elevators so closeby. Holcim and DEC are in contact.

Another mystery Tracy Simpson, Roger, I, Carl and Jacquie are trying to figure out is at Niagara Falls.

Central terminal has three hatches and one egg on nest check today?

If that is still Diamante, he is keeping up with his sisters.
Have we had any more news about who is at Central Terminal??

At last report Joyce felt it might be Diamante. But we're reluctant to say for sure until the band has been clearly read. Which might be easier now that there will be food deliveries.

[AlisonL]

I very much hope it turns out to be Diamante . . .

Is there any news of Yankee and Dixie? I was able to get the cam for a while, but recently it doesn't work for me.

[~Sage~]

We went twice and saw him! Just got home, have to upload pix but have to go right out for granddaughter/prom! Will be back!
