Wingo enjoying some pigeon the other day.  ;D

I think he caught this pigeon on the walkway between the two buildings. He was on the roof ledge and made his way to the brick wall and kept looking over the edge and then saw him dive down. We found him on the other side eating on the Annex building. Didn't have to work to hard for that meal but then again there are a lot of pigeons around here!

Today Wingo had a friend visiting.  This female looks young with both grey and brown feathers and she is not banded. We watched Wingo bring her a food gift, which she took and left with it. Twenty minutes later on we watched Wingo show her how great a flyer he is by swooping close to her over on the Scotia building...fun to watch!

Hurricane is usually home around the first of April, so we shall see what happens if and when she comes to her summer home. She did chase a female away last year.

This news was overdue to be tweeted but last week, besides the weather, turned out to be crazy ...

An adult unbanded female showed up April 1st and has been interacting with Wingo since then, just doing what peregrines do!

Hurricane hasn't returned as of yet but could still. I think the latest she was back was around April 13th or 14th, so who knows!  So I just wait and watch, that's about all I can do!

Some photos of the unbanded female who I have dubbed  "April".

Looks like Hurricane is not going to return!  She nested here for 11 years and she certainly contributed to the peregrine population. I think she and her mates had 30 chicks fledge.   :-*

I'm so sorry RCF, I know how much she meant to you and everyone else out there who followed her.  Perhaps she's decided to spend her days in the sun relaxing, she has certainly earned it.
