2009 NESTING SEASON
I noticed when I was on the CPF site that there was mention of a new falcon in Ottawa.
well I was talking to EVe ticknor last night at their falconwatch(a block from me) adn no one checked it out asthere was no 10 Wellington in Ottawa.
So Peter and I checked it out. well there is 10 Welligton in Hull ,just across the brdge) .You can see the buildings it is on from the Ottawa side.
I have pictures and there deffintely is a falcon there. Did not see 2 but that does not mean there are not 2. Hope it does not try to snag the mate from this site.
Lots of room for a new pair there. And a perfect safe spot. could not have picked a better spot myself.
I showed the Pictures to Eve and I think it is a juvenille like waseported. They seem to think an adult.
I will post pictures when i get back.
It is far enough away from this site but I guess the Ottawa birds have had free reighn of territory and may have to establish boundaries. I would guess this pair knows it is there.
and yes, I saw the Ottawa peregrines.
First day we were here , we walked the block down and there they were.
I hope it is monitored and does not get forgotten because it is on the wrong side of the river.
