We made a visit to the Falcons on the ambassador Bridge a few weeks ago. I only got a few shots but I was lucky to catch them feeding. All four falcons were doing well that night on July 3, two adults and two chicks, although I have read since then, on the Canadian Peregrine Foundation ( Windsor- Ambassador Bridge) by Dennis Patrick, Site Co-ordinator CPF, whom we had the pleasure to meet last year at the Hawk Festival (Holiday Beach) that the female chick Named; Lady Gaga had to be put to rest July 11, 2011. She had a fractured leg and after surgery to repair the leg they also found fractures in both wings, which were beyond repair.
It was sad to read this when only about a week before we were watching them fly around. Now there are three Falcons.
If you want to keep updated on the Falcons, the page above have daily posts givin by Dennis Patrick and his wife Gwen.
