All winter long, peregrines have been soaring over downtown Toronto, sometimes just one and sometimes two. I can see them from my office at King and University (and do in fact see them almost daily), but I'm sure that they can be seen from anywhere in the vicinity. A good vantage point might be Adelaide and University, where one can see a lot of sky. Not sure if they're adult or young, but they must probably belong to one of the families that nested downtown last spring.

Although I am not 100% sure, it looked like a Red-winged Blackbird. Now only two more months until spring really arrives in Ontario! Good birding, Karl Konze Guelph
