Hi TPC, time to roust out Dan and other experts with spotting scopes there were two falcons at McKenzie site, one on east light and one on MTS tower.The female was on the light(she has a cap) and the male was on the tower. I was so excited I lost my gloves(only misplaced). RCF and I were going shopping but needless to say that was cut short! ;D :)RCF has lots of pictures she'll post them when she gets home. Neither falcon would show a leg so we couldn't even see the band colour :) :)

Just spoke to one of those "other experts"  ;)  and he said he saw them at 0815 this morning in exactly the same locations as RCF photographed them.  He didn't have a camera or scope with him and he's been in meetings, so didn't have an opportunity to notify me until just now.

Way to go RCF & Rose!!

Saw a birdie on the north side of Scotia Bank building, same spot Hurricane likes to perch on hot days or just out of the elements.



I saw the male in the nest box, then he flew around halfheartedly chasing pigeons. Maybe he should try a little harder to bring our girlie a gift.  :-*  He finally ended up on the east light.  :)

Great photos, RCF. 

I hope the gun guy does not come back and scare them off.

He won't have to come back, according to our man in Conservation, the peregrines have been terrorizing the pigeons since they got home!!  :D

No he won't have to come back, the peregrines put a "No Parking" sign on the roof for the pigeons.  ;D

I could only drive by today because my other half was with me and he hasn't been assimilated yet.  ::)   I did see both birdies, one on the east light and one on the south light. Couldn't tell who was who, but the one on the south light was right up against the wall trying to stay dry.

I was reading the NEWS on the forum main page about having three pair of falcons nesting this year and I believe the female is Hurricane.   :)   Photo's taken at slightly different angles.  Looks like the same birdie to me.  ;)
