I get an unobstructed view of the CIBC and The Bay buildings from the large windows on the north side of our building (Child Welfare Centre - Children's Aid Society of Toronto - 30 Isabella). AT 9:35 am this morning I took a look at these buildings, with beautful blue sky in the background. No peregrines...except when I took a quick glance to my left and on the south-east corner ledge of the Comfort Hotel on Charles Street sat one peregrine - possibly also warming up in the sun! There is an abundant supply of pigeons in the area, and they had all scattered. I watched this bird for about 5 minutes before he or she took off for the tall buildings on the north side of Bloor near Church.
