Comment on Nest activity by Langis Sirois https://falconwatch.ca/nest-activity/#comment-18735 Sat, 14 May 2016 15:06:32 +0000 https://falconwatch.ca/?p=2522#comment-18735 From the position of the shadows, it looks like the video was taken in the early morning. I think the adult in the video may be feeding young that is not visible.

I was there later that morning, from 9:00 to 9:20. When I arrived, I saw the male perched at the west end and the female was feeding a young; I could not see the young but the way the female presented the food made it evident that she was feeding a young, probably only one since the food was always presented at the same place in the nest. After I was sure of what I was seeing, I took a video, but at that point the female was mostly feeding herself.

After about 5 minutes, the female flew away with the prey and joined the male on the N-W corner on top of the building. A minute or 2 later, they flew after a small raptor, probably a Merlin, and one adult went to the nest.

After a couple minutes, the other adult perched in front of the nest for a few minutes, flew away, perched on the ledge in front of the nest, then there was an exchange on the nest. I observed a similar exchange on the nest this morning, May 14 around 9:00. I have photos that I will provide later.

I think this is a little falcon on the right of her parent, filmed today around 8:00 pm: https://www.dropbox.com/s/56tjz9obqtuayou/MVI_6625 baby falcon? 13 V 2016.mp4?dl=0

Comment on Back on the nest by Dominique https://falconwatch.ca/nest/#comment-18733 Wed, 11 May 2016 17:55:40 +0000 https://falconwatch.ca/?p=2518#comment-18733 Dear Anouk,

Thank you for the news.

Yesterday around 3:00 pm I saw the two adults defending the nest against a bird of prey which appeared, soaring, above the roof. They did this loudly and forcefully, taking turn to make it fly south. They succeeded after 5 minutes.

Today, I saw them around 1:00 taking turn to be very close to the nest, and doing things around the nest. I made a video: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xhnuvybbdt5gton/MVI_6622.MP4?dl=0
I don’t know what to make of this much activity: maybe you can help.

I sit on the 9th floor (south side) and lately, I see them daily flying by, with a lunch…

I heard it first, very loudly.

I agree with you that this year’s falcons have stayed closer to the ‘homestead’ than previous ones, and they are looking out for each other.
