I'm not sure about insurance buildings, but between the cliff face that the=
 citadel and Dufferin Terrace sit atop as well as the nearby tall office bu=
ildings, there would be no shortage of nesting areas!

Hi Pat,

Was the falcon close to an insurance building by any chance?

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 ne=
sting for several years now, with the Assumption Building being favourite p=
erching spot. Three years ago, we placed a nesting box on top of the buildi=
ng 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?
