This past Wednesday at about 5 o’clock, I noticed a pair of Peregrine Falcons coming in to land and seemingly roost for the night, on the Brampton Courthouse building at 7755 Hurontario St. Then yesterday, I again saw the two falcons (presumably the same pair) on that same building several times during the day, vocalizing to one another very loudly. As I work at that courthouse I’ll try to keep tabs on them but I’m beginning to think that they might be trying to set up a nesting site if not on this building, at least close to it. Other birders in the area might also try to monitor these birds.
DIRECTIONS: The Brampton Courthouse is at 7755 Hurontario Street in Brampton. It’s on the east side of Hurontario about a kilometer south of Steeles.
