[Ontbirds]Ottawa falcons and bluebirds
First of all, our Peregrines are brooding now, but I haven't yet been able to determine how many eggs. We are looking at a mid-May hatching. South of our airport, on Earl Armstrong Rd, there was a pair of Eastern Bluebirds near the former railroad tracks. There were a few Song Sparrows nearby, too.

[Ontbirds]Ottawa Falcons
Just a quick note to let you know our Falcons are finally nesting. I saw our new female in brooding mode this afternoon. The very late date maybe due to immaturity. For any more news, please contact me privately. Cheers, Eve Eve Ticknor Coordinator OFNC Falcon Watch 38-9 Gillespie Cres.

[Ontbirds] Ottawa Falcons brooding!
I saw Horizon brooding this afternoon! As I wasn't downtown for the past few days, I cant be sure, but I think she has only been brooding fulltime for a day or 2. I'll try to determine how many eggs over this weekend. The nest site is the southeast corner of the Crowne Plaza Hotel maintenance ledge, just under the penthouse, and in front of the first column. This is the same location of the nest 2 years ago!

Ottawa Falcons!
This afternoon I was able to confirm that our resident peregrine falcons are brooding 2, and possibly 3 eggs!! They are on the northwest side of the Crowne Plaza Hotel. This is their (and our) 7th season. I anticipate hatching around the middle of May, and commencing the falcon watch around the middle of June. The Crowne Plaza Hotel is on Lyon St, between Queen and Albert Sts, west of Bank St in downtown Ottawa. Anyone needing more specifics can email me privately.
