As many on this list know, Peregrines nested for many years on the Sun Life Building in Montreal. Here in Moncton, we have had a pair of Peregrines nesting for several years now, with the Assumption Building being favourite perching spot. Three years ago, we placed a nesting box on top of the building which has been used for the past two nesting seasons. Now I see reports on this list of Peregrines being seen on the Manulife Building in Halifax - keep an eye for nesting in the area this spring Why are Peregrines attracted to insurance company buildings?
