August finds the intrepid Quest whiling away the days in pleasant Wesleyville and the surrounding ‘burbs. Four of the seven most recent location plots place her in close proximity to the power station there. The data leave little doubt that she’s made it her base of operations, most likely hunting from the facility’s tall smokestack.
It looks like she took an early morning jaunt over Port Hope on the 4th. Her location at the corner of Strachan and Bramley Street South looks to be an upscale neighborhood to judge by all of the backyard swimming pools nearby. You can’t say she doesn’t have good taste! Consistent with the summer season we’re also seeing some of the highest temperature readings yet from the sensor in Quest’s transmitter.
From everything we can see, it seems she couldn’t be doing better. Now all Quest needs to do is to settle down and attract a mate for next year.

She does have good taste after having spent her winter in Cape Cod and now here! 😀

Now is the time when peregrine falcons are on the move. Juveniles are being exited out of their parent’s territory, and starting their journey of survival on their own. Quest is now a seasoned sub-adult. I wonder if she will stay in her established new territory…or will she migrate, or even return to Cape Cod? Looks like we will have to wait and see.
