There was a great deal of Peregrine action around the Clarica Centre office towers (corner of Bloor and Islington, Etobicoke)around noon today.
12:14PM Two Peregrines were loudly vocalizing and bowing to one another on the eastern ledge of the of the easternmost tower, i.e. on the same building and around the corner from the nest box. These two birds proceeded to tear apart what appeared to be a pigeon lunch. Feathers were flying everywhere and wafting down onto Bloor Street. 12:15PM A third Peregrine flew past the two birds on the ledge. It was chasing and "stooping" after more pigeons.It then landed on the ledge to the west of the pair (immediately above Bloor Street) and remained there for approximately one minute. 12:21PM The pair took off and were flying in close formation as they headed northward and disappeared from view. There was a considerable size difference between the two. 12:35PM A single large Peregrine was once again rousting pigeons, this time in the area of the westernmost office tower.
