July - September 2004

Sunday July 4, 2004
Guylaine Drolet reports: 4:45 PM to 5:30 PM. First drove to Aberfoyle, didn't seen any birds. Then went to the corner of Eagle road and Islington, still nothing. Decided to drive down the alleyway back towards Islington, scanning the buildings, nothing. I then proceeded to drive to Cordova Avenue and finally, I spotted Skye & Storm sitting on the Nest ledge of the building. They were both preening, looking quite well. No sign of the adults at this time.

Guylaine Drolet reports: 7:15 PM to 8 PM. Quick check at the Etobicoke nest site. Immediately saw daddy perched on top of the camera. Preening, resting. Took quite a while to spot Skye. After scanning all buildings, thank god for the binoculars. I finally saw the tip of her head. She was sitting on top the the 1st tower of the Clarica Centre nearest Islington and Bloor, SW corner. I waited a bit and decided to drive around having noticed mama glide by. Mama was resting on the corner of a smaller building behind the Clarica Centre. I believe she had visual of her baby from where she was at.

I drove around the corner again and spotted Storm with his sister, together in and out of my sight. Saw two brave pigeons land about 10 feet away from the juveniles. Skye & Storm didn't seem to care much.

When I was driving back home, I took Cordova Avenue and had a clear view of both babies roosting on the NW corner of the building. All seems to be well.
