Hi there, Today (December 6th) at 11:35 am, an adult "Arctic" Peregrine Falcon was perched atop a telephone pole at the Colonial/Frank Kenny intersection. I pulled my car to the side of the road and had the chance to study the bird. It was quite pale dorsally and had a noticeably thin malar stripe and extensive white around its auriculars. Within a few moments, it was actively hunting in the fields near this intersection. I was able to get some flight shots.
Directions: From the 417 E, take Innes Rd. exit and then left on Innes. Travel Innes until Navan, turn right onto Navan. Follow Navan until Trim, turn right onto Trim and then left onto Colonial. Good birding, Jon Ruddy http://jonruddy.blogspot.ca/ _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
