For Mississauga winter listers an easy Peregrine Falcon (I assume one of the ones that nested out of the hack box on this building) can be found on the most northerly Shipp building on the east side of Hurontario Street across from Square One.

Easiest way to describe getting to this location is as follows.

Go north on Hurontario from Burnhamthorpe Road. Turn east on Rathburn and then make a quick right turn (to the south) onto Shipp Blvd. Proceed sthly to the all glass building (the first one) on the right.

The bird was at the same level and close to the easily visible nesting box near the top of the building. (NE face)

This hacking box has been used by a pair of Peregrines for several years now and this pair is one not highly advertised.
