A STRANGE SIGHT
FALCONS NEST IN CITY. Hundreds of Montreal citizens have been craning their necks gazing skyward in the hope of seeing the latest unusual visitors to their city.
A pair of peregrine falcons have been nesting on the top ledge of the Sun Life Building, the highest building in the British Empire, 22 storeys.
Ornithologists are very much interested in the phenomenon of these wild birds choosing the top of a skyscraper for their home, and attempts are being made to photograph their activities.
. Meantime the pigeons that usually swarm in Dominion Square in front of the Sun Life Building are diminishing in numbers, as the falcons devour the food so easily obtained at their door.
