Bird Cams Around the World

this is very exciting

Just a little narrative of my visit with the new Canton Peregrine Pair.... I had a great time getting to know our new pair, “Jade”, the female, and “Clay”, the tiercel. They are both unbanded. I arranged to meet “Kat Bird”, the lady who is currently managing the Canton Peregrine Pair Facebook page up on the top floor of the parking garage near the nest box building. I got there first, and almost immediately Clay flew in, zipping back and forth and finally landing on the patio pole. He stayed there for a bit, but then Jade emerged from the nest box (does she have eggs?) calling to Clay while posing on the porch. Clay came right over and they mated. He then flew over to the communication antenna on the building next to the garage. Jade followed him over, and they both seemed to be enjoying the sun lit day. Jade and Clay really seemed to enjoy each other, spending a lot of the time I was there bonding, calling to each other, mating, and on one occasion Clay needed to chase off a turkey vulture. It was so much fun, too, meeting a fellow watcher, “Kat”, who is sure Jade already has at least one egg up there...I CANT wait for the cam!!
PS- “Kat” will be posting her pictures and narrative on Canton Ohio’s Peregrine Pair Facebook page. It would be an encouragement to her if some of you would “like” her photos..

Hi Beth, all I know is that a couple weeks ago, it was announced on Facebook that the cam was “coming soon” . I check several times a day, and there seems to be progress being made, perhaps even down to one last connection to be completed, but no cam so far......

Thanks for posting- he will be dearly missed...

So Happy to be able to provide a little news about the Canton nest. The current peregrine pair, are Jade and Clay, both unbanded. We have had to wait for the eyases to grow big enough to be seen above the “lip” of the porch. And we have four busy eyases running a d flapping like crazy. Even better, one of the lawyers who moved into the suite of rooms near the nest box has become a fan, and she took 2 wonderful photos through a window. I just messaged her asking for permission to post them here- with a friend’s help. I’m hoping she agrees. Meanwhile Laurie Graber, the local DNR representative just messaged Ray that one chick fledged but came down by the police station, where it was found and was being kept safe.

Thank you, Tsusan!

As of Saturday, the 15th,all four juvies were accounted for, with the two boys having fledged and the two girls staying near the nest box. Monday morning when I visited all had fledged and were playing a frustrating game of hide and seek with me. On Wednesday, Clay, the father had 3 juvies over in the McKinley Park area for a bit of flight school. Jade remained on the Public Safety Tower watching a juvie devour prey two buildings over...

Thanks, Tsusan!
