We were up early as usual and were surprised to see a large group of Common Redpolls at our front feeders. They soon moved around to the backyard where the nyjer feeder is located.
They left as abruptly as they arrived. There was a nice blue sky, so we decided to check out some local haunts. First, we went to the SJAM parkway where the Great Horned Owl had a nest last year. Nothing doing this year. While there, we checked out the Coats Building where Peregrine Falcons nested at one time, and where we observed a pair mating last year. All quiet there too! Next stop was the CRA Data Centre on Heron Road. Here we had much better luck with a falcon pair sitting on the ledges. The male was eating something, while the female looked on. Then they both went for short flights. The light was excellent for photography.
