[Ontbirds]Peregrines @ Yonge & Bloor

[David Selley]

Two Peregrine falcons were roosting today on the CIBC building on the North
West corner of Yonge and Bloor in Toronto. Periodically this afternoon
(after the snow) they dashed about in fantastic aerial displays, diving and
soaring, sometimes seeming to miss each other by a few feet. We had not seen
them much recently.

 

Get off the subway at Yonge and Bloor and look up to the top of the CIBC
building near the illuminated (all day and all night - ugh!) sign. We are on
the 38th floor of 44 Charles Street West so we get a great view.
Occasionally one will zip past a couple of feet from our window. We see them
roosting on the South and West sides. They may roost on the other sides as
well but we would not see them. They usually roost quite a long way apart,
but within sight of each other.
