Bill arrived at the Lift Bridge this morning around 9:30 and found Mackenzie on the Hamilton Hydro Tower.  He made several hunting attempts and finally showed up on one of the picnic tables with what appeared to be a Starling.  He then flew to the roof of the Burlington Tower and Cirrus came out of the nest box and followed him there.  Dad left the food on the roof and flew into the nest box.  Within a few seconds Cirrus went into the nest box, Dad left and Mom began feeding.

As Bill witnessed the food delivery to the nest box he decided to go down the road where you can get a site line into the box.  With the scope, he was able to see Cirrus feeding two little white fluff balls.
 
So, I’m really happy to report that we have at least 2 little ones.  Hopefully, there is more.
