Banding of Peregrine Falcon Chicks, Bloor-Islington Centre, June 15, 2023 (Images)

-

We witnessed the banding of several peregrine falcon chicks in the lobby of an office building in the west end of Toronto. A scaffold carrying experts in the handling of these birds had to be carefully lowered to a ledge near the top of the building where the chicks were nesting. After the birds were collected, they were taken to a banding area on the ground floor.

Can't crop my thumb out, as I'd lose an important part of the image: Brockton Village Bakery: First photo. Taken at a bus stop on the property of Ossington subway station.
