Eve Ticknor reports: DAY 10 - Solitaire is airborn!!

There was an article in June 30th Citizen in the City Section about Solitaire's first flight. Small, but pretty good. I have put it in our log book for the volunteers to read.

Most of today we waited as before for our chicklet's 2nd flight. She had 3 food drops, much rest and some wing flapping lifting her off the surface of the ledge for far longer than we had hoped. And then........

Just after 5pm she was off! She flew around to Tower A and made a perfect landing. Not one to sit still, now, she was off exploring her new world. The thing that interested her the most was a puddle on the roof. She moved around in it, bathing we thought, but really checking out the reflection and ripples as she walked back and forth for a long time.

She then flew around 4 or 5 times before landing on Tower C at the eastern end.

After a bit she flew out from the tower and attempted a landing at the western end. She missed by a little and dropped several stories, causing us to stop breathing (!) and recovered well, flying several times around the Crowne Plaza, losing a bit of altitude. She then flew back to Tower C briefly and then ended up on the top of the hotel. She had been accompanied by Horizon who then appeared to be giving her daughter a lesson by flying close to the side of Tower C a couple of times as if to say "This is as close as you should get to this building". Some of her flying indicated she was trying to figure out how to get back to the nest ledge, familiar territory.

She stayed on the hotel roof, but didn't stay quiet, investigating much of her world. Her flying was spectacular, as were her recovery skills!

Just before we left, Horizon seemed quite agitated, flying around and around and giving her agitation vocalizations. Chris and I went on the roof of Tower 2 to see what might be the cause. I think she was reacting to someone moving around in an office that had lights on. We were treated to our city at night, thinking of what it must be for Solitaire as she looked out over great distances with many lights and sounds, and of what it must be like for her to fly in the wind as it was fairly strong up there.

If she continues to improve her landings and fly for longer periods at a time, we will only need a few more days before closing our 2003 Falcon Watch and we will have had "a job well done"!

Mike Bernard reports: Hi there!! Just as the sun was going down on Sunday evening, I saw a definitely non-pigeon silhouette go by my view, out an east facing window on the 11th floor of 475 Laurier Ave. I saw a falcon fly up to the top of the Minto Business Centre/Carlisle Apartment building on the south-east corner of Lyon and Laurier. Unfortunately my scope was in the car, but I could clearly hear a "dialog" between this falcon as it landed next to something on the top of the stone facing, (30th floor or so??) on the south-west facet of the building (its an octagon). After this bird landed, the chatter could be heard for maybe five minutes, although for the unaided eye at 500 feet distance, I could not see any activity. I looked for them last night at dusk, but I guess the chick managed to get off that ledge Great to see your work...I saw your scope set up on Albert on Friday afternoon...what a great outreach activity.

Eve Ticknor reports: DAY 9 - Our little peregrine is fine! She has recovered from her leg injury quite quickly. She spent most of today lounging around! By this I mean lying down on her breast/belly with her tail sticking just over the edge of the ledge. Once in a while she would move and we thought "at last" and then it was just to turn over.....

She didn't fly toady, although she seemed ready on a few occasions. The most interesting time was during a thunder/ lightening/rain episode. Then, when the stormy period stopped, so did she! I was very glad she didn't!

Solitaire had several meals dropped off to her, which surprised me as she didn't call for them, nor did she "work" for them. This made for a rather lazy chicklet. Connor disappeared just before the rain started and never showed up again. Maybe getting decked by his much larger daughter gave him a bit for a calmer escape..... Horizon was around from time to time, especially to deliver meals.

We had entertainment, though of our own at our "base" by the bank. House Sparrows! We had 3 fledglings of 3 different ages in a row on a nearby railing, each expecting to be fed by the next until mothers showed up. The best was a very young fledgling who sat on James' back for quite a while. Marie and I took photos before she flew off!

I am expecting Solitaire to take another flight tomorrow. She showed herself to be a strong flier yesterday, so tomorrow should be similar. It is the landings we need to watch.

Saturday June 28, 2003
Eve Ticknor reports: DAY 8 - Solitaire has taken her first flight this afternoon!!

Her morning was as usual, waiting for food and eventually exercising. Yes, she did get food today. In fact, she was doing a great stint of strong wing flapping, so much so that we started to get ready for a run, when Horizon showed up with a large offering which took Solitaire close to 1/2 hour to eat! After that she had to sleep it off for an hour.

She took off at 1:40pm and had a good strong flight! She headed northwest over the Delta, then swung around and headed towards the Minto. We lost her then and there were a difference of opinions as to where she went, so we divided up and started our 2 hour search, having called in reinforcements. Some traveled various streets, while I checked balconies in the Minto with a member of Housekeeping. Nothing. I went on the roof of Tower 2, Constitution Square to look from all sides, nothing. Minto called that they had her, but it was a pigeon. The other volunteers and friends found nothing.

Then another call from the Minto. This time it was really her! She had landed on a balcony on the 28th floor, and had been found by the occupants when they returned from an outing. Fortunately they knew falcons, having been associated with David Bird in Montreal..... Sure enough when I got there and opened the drapes, there was Solitaire looking in the door at me! I was able to scoop her up without much fuss, although she was true to her nature and struggled at times, and at others tried to bite me. Some ungrateful chicklet!

Back she went to her ledge, at the northwest end. I don't think her parents even knew she was gone...... As I put her out on the ledge she managed to strain her right leg and was limping quite a bit, not putting much weight on that leg or foot. I contacted the MNR and we agreed to leave her rest, and I'd evaluate her condition in the morning.

At this point it was around 4:30, and we all spent the rest of the afternoon / evening watching the ledge. Soon we saw our little flier on the outer part of her ledge, flapping her wings and limping. She did sit for a while, then started to move around, better than before. She received something to eat as well. A couple of times it seemed that she might go for another flight, but thankfully she didn't. I think we'll be busy tomorrow, but better than than trying rescues on Canada Day!!

Friday June 27, 2003
Eve Ticknor reports: DAY 7 - What a change in the weather! Great for us and the peregrines who are now more active, especially Solitaire.....

As the swing stage was further away from the nest ledge, both adults were much more relaxed today. Connor spent much time this morning on a sensor midway up Tower C, while Horizon was on the east ledge.

Solitaire had moments of strong wing flapping, getting longer and faster. At one point she was flapping away on the southwest corner and Horizon flew over to her and brushed her with her wing. Solitaire dropped to the ledge surface, while Horizon flew between her and the wall, exiting by the first column, clearly a message that it was time to leave the ledge for the sky!

It was lovely to watch the adults enjoying the winds, flying around together, and "stopping" in the air with the windcurrents. Some of that was a demonstration for Solitaire who did sometimes lift her wings and stand there feeling the wind under her wings.

She was fed several times today, even getting an extra treat snuck in by Connor while Horizon was away. Shortly after Horizon flew by with a catch to show Solitaire. She then went to a Constitution Square tower, and then back to give her daughter some of it. Soon after she stole some back andwent to the other end to eat it. Maybe tomorrow will be the day???????

Thursday June 26, 2003
Eve Ticknor reports: DAY 6: An interesting morning, though the heat today threatened to fell all of us.... No, Solitaire has not flown yet, but it is close!

Just after 6am I heard the adults getting very agitated, and say men on the roof of Constitution Square! They are getting things ready for the huge flag that is on the west side for Canada Day. They had to endure bouts of ducking as Horizon showed her displeasure. When the adults realized much later in the morning that they couldn't drive those men away, at this point being on a swing stage, they spent most of the day on the west ledge, closer together than usual, and mostly between Solitaire and the other building.

Solitaire had more exercise today than before, both with wing flapping and running to the north end (first time since hatch) and back. She had a few flying demos from Horizon who flew in and out of the ledge, seeming to show her daughter that it was time to do the same, which she didn't. She had a good breakfast and lunch, but felt she didn't get enough, or maybe not often enough. At one point she traveled along the ledge heading north. When she reached her father, she jumped up and bit his beak, then hauled off and hit his head with her left foot!! She lost her balance and fell inwards while a shocked Connor fled the scene! Later on she again traveled the ledge at a run, heading south. As she approached Connor, he flew away to the other side of the hotel. There are definitely aspects of chicklet-raising that he doesn't like! I think she was merely reminding him why he was there.....

We had a couple of other interesting bird sightings while on the morning shift. First off, Connor suddenly was down the side of the hotel, trying to catch a small bird, sparrow we thought. It was good at evasive maneuvers and he gave up. As it landed we saw it was a White-breasted Nuthatch! We have never seen one downtown! It sat for over 40 minutes, motionless and with its beak wide open, before finally flying off.

The other interesting sighting was of 3 birds circling overhead for some time, together in a triangular formation. It turned out to be 3 Double-crested Cormorants! Again, an unheard of sighting downtown.

Tonight promises a thunder storm, followed by cooler air - Hooray! Will Solitaire fly tomorrow? Will she do well? Stay tuned.......

Wednesday June 25, 2003
Eve Ticknor reports: DAY 5: Hot and very muggy, not very good for volunteers, nor for peregrines, who often ccan be seen with their beaks open, panting. Small wonder that they do any activity at all.....

Solitaire continues to progress, and I'm hoping that she might be the first Ottawa chicklet to fledge on time rather than early! Her breakfast was a bit later today, most likely due to the adults agitation with someone on the roof of Tower 1. They spent some time diving on whomever was up there, screaming all the way. That is why we are not conducting roof watches so far. Maybe in a few days. We'll see!

After Solitaire had spent about 5 or 10 minutes eating, an adult nipped in for some snacking on whatever was left. Now that couldn't be Connor, could it???? His style for sure.

She has spent some time exercising and is finally travelling a bit further along the ledge, to the 3rd column today. She watched with interest one of her parents pursuing prey. She is spending more time out where we can see her. Once in a while she drops some of her tail over the ledge. John Ayers from the Queen Elizabeth Towers has been watching with delight and calls me regularly with his sightings. He has seen the food teasing and wing flapping and was concerned, as are many, that she might slip and fall while flapping!

A bit more food around 6pm. When we left around 8:45, she was still looking out from her southern post......

A wonderful visitor brought a case of water bottles!!! Another lady asked if we had enough water and food, while someone starting up a new Indian restaurant gave us brochures and invited us for free dinner to then tell everyone we know to eat there....... A couple of people will be back tomorrow with cameras, one lady wants to paint them. Lots of passersby come to see and ask questions, some on a regular basis. It's great to see how many are interested, especially those who never knew the birds were there for "all these years"!

Another hot one tomorrow........Day 6......will she or won't she? Any guesses as to when she'll fly?

Tuesday June 24, 2003
Eve Ticknor reports: DAY 4: What a hot day! Even our peregrines could be seen at times with wings open as well as their mouths, panting!

Solitaire was given breakfast around 8:20 and according to the log book, nothing again, but showed signs of possible snacking on leftovers. She has been seen much more today, often making appearances closer to the edge, at one point hanging her tail over the edge. She spends lots of time preening. Between the heat and the down, she must feel quite itchy and is forever working on one part of her or another.

She has done some wing flapping, but not a lot, and of short duration. Around 3:15, when I arrived, I could see motions to hurry up and a volunteer called out, "She's ready to fly! Just look at her!" She was standing on the ledge facing northwest into the wind and had her wings lifted. She was enjoying the feel of the wind, another learning experience for her. I don't feel she is really going to take off just yet, as she has still more exercising to do. The wind must have given her a cooling off, though.

Solitaire seems to like the south end very much. She hasn't "traveled" along the ledge much, at least no more than the first column at the south end. Hopefully she will start to venture further along the ledge soon.

As for the adults, they were here and there as usual. Towards the evening we saw Connor from time to time, and less of Horizon (perhaps some R & R?). Another scorcher for Day 5 coming up.....

Tuesday June 24, 2003
Lisa Levesque reports: We are all watching Solitaire from the 18th floor of Constitution Square again. It seems we can't stop looking at her these days. She is standing on the South West corner with her wings spread completely out and catching a bit of wind under them. It makes me nervous to watch her but I guess this is how she learns. Horizon doesn't seem to be spending as much time teasing her and showing her how to fly like she was doing last week however she just did a fly by and Solitaire has her wings up again.

Monday June 23, 2003
Eve Ticknor reports: It is hard to believe that tomorrow promises to be hotter than today! Downtown streets and sidewalks aren't the coolest.......

We now spend our days sitting under a sheltered area with picnic table outside the CS Co-op / Alterna Banks on Albert St where we get a very good view of Solitaire, and her parents. We can go in for the amenities, coffee and water......... Super!

Solitaire is appearing more today, although she still retreats at times. There has been some wing flapping, but not nearly enough for my liking. She was given breakfast, briefly this morning, then a lot of food teasing mainly by Horizon. Tough lessons for a little one! I'm sure she is very itchy in this heat and with her down. She spends a lot of time preening and down feathers float down periodically. I have no idea at what time she had food this evening as it wasn't recorded....

I went on the roof of Tower 2 again, much later than before. Again, I got only just to the front railing on the eastern end to see where Solitaire was, then left as I was being watched by 2 adults! One was on the antenna on the Bradson Building and the other one was on a ladder stored on a wall on the east side near the top of the Minto! I wasn't sure jut how far they would let me, so I didn't push it!

Later on we watched again as Connor chased off a gull, who thought it would chase Connor, but changed it mind when Connor "turned on a dime" and nipped it! He had to repeat the performance later with another, not-so-brave- gull. Day 4 tomorrow if I/we don't melt first!

Sunday June 22, 2003
Eve Ticknor reports: Another beautiful morning, and not nearly so cold! Solitaire was brought breakfast, and didn�t get another meal again until after 4:30! Although she stayed back for most of the day, she made her first appearance at the southwest corner around 7:15 and stayed in view for 10 to 15 minutes before retreating. After that we only heard her, bur heard we did! Especially when a parent was in sight......... She was very alert and very curious, head bobbing as she looked all around. Hopefully we�ll see more of her tomorrow.

The adults did as usual, flying off, feeding in the first part of the day, resting most of the daytime, and re-energizing in the late afternoon and early evening. We saw some lovely flying and had some great views of them, especially Connor who likes to sit on the antenna of the Bradson Building in the evening for a while. He even sat on top of what looked like a flag pole atop the Minto (apartments with balconies?)! I had the volunteers take turns at looking at the adults as they came and went, singly or at the same time, to sharpen their identifying skills. Some caught on quickly and some needed more time to study each one, but on the whole everyone did well!

Saturday June 21, 2003
Eve Ticknor reports: We have officially begun our 7th season of the OFNC Falcon Watch at 6am today! Both Horizon and Connor were quite visible today. From time to time 1 might disappear for a while, though often just to sit on the east side, preening and resting. There hasn't been any sign of the teasing we usually see from Horizon to get her chicklets to exercise. I have heard from tenants in Constitution Square that Solitaire has been seen wingflapping, so maybe she just knows what to do....

It is evident that we may not be able to use the roof of Tower 1. It is very close to the south end of the ledge, and Solitaire seems now to spend a lot of time down at that end. I did go up on Tower 2 briefly, slowly making my way around from the back to the east and then to the front, all the time watching for the adults. I stopped before the middle of the front edge when I saw part of Solitaire, with Horizon watching me from the antenna at Tower C, unconcerned about my presence so far. From what I saw, Solitaire has progressed nicely with the progression from white down to brown feathering with some down still left on. She was on the upper part of the ledge, near the wall rather than the corner, and on the inside part where we couldn't see her from the street. She has received food, and has made little complaint otherwise.

The adults spent much of the day quietly as well. Occasionally Connor had to do his job by chasing of an errant gull, or bringing a bit of food. The one "excitement" they had was a foray over to the Minto where some people were out on a balcony near the top of the building. They were calling out to the birds and hanging out, in spite of the falcons coming right to the railing of that balcony. However the security at the Minto spoke to them and shortly after they withdrew and weren't seen again. I did want to point out that their behaviour would quite possibly draw unwelcome danger upon themselves......

Other than a few fly-overs later on in the evening, things remained calm for our first day. Stay tuned for tomorrow!

Friday June 20, 2003
Eve Ticknor reports: Falcon Watch starts. Tomorrow we start our Falcon Watch and may our Solitaire do well this year!!

Wednesday June 18, 2003
Lisa Levesque reports: 1:01 PM Hello, I am on the 18th floor of Constitution Square and I just thought I would let you know that we are watching Connor and Horizon's baby chick flapping his wings and peaking over the side. He is on the South West corner and he is giving us a really nice show.

Monday June 16, 2003
Eve Ticknor reports: Banding Day! Our big day arrived with lots of sunshine. At 10am our chicklet was brought in from the ledge and was in fine form! Solitaire is a big girl, weighing in at 960 grams, and is as feisty as they come!! She is 30 days old and now sports 2 bracelets. Her plumage is changing rapidly and I'm sure that once she has a flight or 2 under her belt, she will be a strong flier, and probably quick to catch on to her lessons. Remember that she has had the complete attention from both parents, and so far has not had to forgo a meal.

Solitaire weighed in at 960 gms, a very feisty female! She was banded by Pud Hunter and Shaun Thompson of the Ministry of Natural Resources, with the assistance of Mark Nash of the Canadian Peregrine Foundation and Eve Ticknor, Co-ordinator of the Ottawa Field Naturalists Club's Falcon Watch. Her name was chosen from suggestions from the volunteers of the Falcon Watch, and had been submitted by Steve Heiter.

Those of us present with cameras either took photos or asked someone else to do so. When we can we will put some in the web. Unfortunately, not a single member if any media showed up, although the Citizen called the hotel just after 11...... Steve Heiter had his "proud papa" photo taken with Solitaire, as did I.

Now, keep those fingers crossed, prayers and good vibes coming. The Falcon Watch will commence this coming Saturday, June 21st and is expected to last 2 to 3 weeks.

Tuesday June 10, 2003
Eve Ticknor reports: It is simply amazing just how fast our youngster is growing! I watched it for a few minutes today after work. Horizon was watching, both her baby and me, although her baby was of more interest to her. It moves around quite well and is at least 3/4 her size! Brown feathering is appearing here and there, reminding me of the chevrons we saw on Grisou. Obviously the care of both parents is showing. I imagine Horizon will soon start giving her chicklet its lessons in exercising.....

The death of a peregrine chick in Toronto is sad, and we all understand how they feel.

Friday June 6, 2003
Stephanie Carriere reports: Mild and sunny. 9:30 a.m. Mom and Dad are watching over their nestling on the northwest corner of the Crowne Plaza Hotel. It looks like a lovely family breakfast.

4:20 p.m. Connor is doing his routine flight over Lyon Street, from Albert to Queen, in front of the western ledge. At first, he came in from the south, flying over the east side of the hotel and overshooting Queen St. Instead of banking, he decided to land on the side of Place de Ville, Tower C, clutching on the vertical metal frame a few floors below the top 29th, then flew southeast over the hotel to begin his lazy figure 8s.

Eve Ticknor: ..a slight correction to one of the postings;� Falcons don't regurgitate food for their young.� What Horizon is doing is preparing the kill before feeding her chicklet.� She decapitates and plucks the body, then will take it over to start giving pieces of it to the chicklet.� It may not have been easy to see this.

Monday June 2, 2003
Phil Maillard reports: Our chicklet...was close to the wall preening and looking very healthy. Horizon was being very protective of her young one. She swooped at me several times, letting me know she did not want me there at all, even after backing off, she still took a few dives at me. She once again showed me how protective she and Conner are of their young!

Thursday May 29, 2003
Eve Ticknor reports: I had another visit, on the roof yesterday around 4pm. Our chicklet is growing fast. Again, a very full crop, but this time it was more lively, trying to move around a bit on its ankles as opposed to on its feet, which stuck out in front of it. Rather comical! It kept scrabbling with the talons, and then looking at them as if to ask why they weren't working as maybe they should be......My visit was brief due to a sudden appearance by Connor. Although I always scan everywhere when I first arrive on the roof for the adults, neither was in sight, so I went to my corner to watch. Suddenly a very silent Connor was swooping back and forth on me, getting just a bit closer each time! Obviously Horizon hadn't told him I was ok! When she sees me, she doesn't react much beyond a look as if to say, well, its only you!

We will not be receiving any fosters this year. Due to the late spring, the cold and wet weather, the lack of strong light, all this has caused the captive falcons, especially anatums, to breed much later than usual!

Sunday May 25, 2003
Eve Ticknor reports: Greetings! We do have 1 beautiful chicklet who is growing quickly. The other eggs have not hatched, nor will they. Our baby is being well fed, judging by the full crop under its beak! Both parents were nearby today, having either been in the rain, or taken baths, as each was rather soggy-looking and preening, then "hanging out to dry" as they kept a close eye on their chicklet.

Wednesday May 21, 2003
Eve Ticknor reports: Sunny and rather windy today, but not too bad up on the roof. Horizon spent a long time in brooding mode, rarely lifting herself for us to see anything, us being myself and Phil, now a dedicated "roofer"! At one point, Connor suddenly appeared from somewhere east of us and flew overhead, disappearing towards LeBreton Flats, where we lost sight of him. For all we know, he could have been on the Tower 2 railing, just out of sight. He was absolutely silent and, although he saw us, didn't lose a wingbeat as he sped on his way. We were hoping to see him bring dinner, but I had places to go, things to do, and couldn't stay much longer. Of course, just as we were thinking of leaving, Horizon suddenly left the nest and sat on the ledge nearby her baby, preening and stretching. I'm sure I couldn't stay in her positions for such a long time! We saw 1 chicklet and 1 egg. We watched our baby struggling to get upright. It turned, flopped, twisted and turned again and again as it showed us how much stronger it was since it was hatched. OH, yes, once during Horizon's resettling, she faced away from us and just before she settled down, suddenly I saw 2 eyes and 1 beak peeping out before getting buried in feathers.....

Tuesday May 20, 2003
Eve Ticknor reports: Once again, Phil and I climbed up on the roof for another look at our cute little chicklet, and cute it is! As for the 3 remaining eggs, the likelihood of hatching is rather remote by now. There is still a small possibility that the last laid egg may hatch, but not very likely, I'm afraid. As Arlene noted, the adults have started to draw away from the eggs, which makes me believe they also know these eggs won't hatch. I have seen half-hearted attempts at brooding, but the living chicklet is getting the choice position under its parent. Soon they will stop any brooding at all, and will concentrate in their baby.

For the excitement to change from 4 eggs to 1 chicklet is disheartening for some of you, but that is life. We, to, will concentrate our efforts on what we do have.

Sunday May 18, 2003
Eve Ticknor reports: NO change from yesterday. It was rather hot on the roof this afternoon and the adults spent well over an hour preening and yawning!

Saturday May 17, 2003
Eve Ticknor reports: Another beautiful day! We are still at 1 chicklet, but hear this, 3 eggs to go....... Phil and I were on the roof again this afternoon. Connor was standing guard at the southwest corner, and we expected trouble from him. We deliberately stayed back a bit more than usual while still being able to see the nest area. He wasn't bothered by our presence at all! Horizon moved around from time to time, changing position, and we could see a little white head struggle to get its head up and them flop down. Still very new! But then I saw 3 eggs next to the chicklet!! I have had my suspicions for some time, but didn't say anything until I could confirm it, but there is another egg, viewed by Phil as well.

Friday May 16, 2003
Ottawa Birth Announcement! We have our first chicklet!! Hatched sometime between noon on the 15th and noon on the 16th, It was visible next to the 2 remaining eggs when Horizon changed position.

Thursday May 15, 2003
Eve Ticknor reports: I was on the roof around 12:20 today for about 1/2 hour. We still have 3 eggs, but Horizon was clearly uncomfortable and agitated, a good sign...... She kept changing position, moving her eggs, looking down and around, and seemed very happy when Connor showed up for his turn. She flew off and he stood there looking after her for a few seconds before settling down. She flew to the SW corner and sat there for a while.

Tuesday May 13, 2003
Eve Ticknor reports: I was on the roof yesterday with Phil, and after a long wait in the wet stuff, we saw eggs. We'll go up for another look today.....

Thursday May 8, 2003
Eve Ticknor reports: I was on the roof this afternoon around 3:30pm. Horizon was on the eggs as usual and Connor was nowhere to be seen (I always look around for him). As I arrived in the hotel area, I observed the nest watch change between adults. As I was watching Horizon, Connor came out of nowhere to warn me off. He made not a sound, but flew past me twice, so I backed off by a couple of meters and he was satisfied! He then perched on the southeast corner of Tower C, preened and watched me, but wasn't disturbed by the fact. I stayed a little longer.

Sunday May 4, 2003
Eve Ticknor reports: I was on the roof this weekend and, as usual, Horizon was on brooding duty while Connor was nowhere to be seen, in spite of my staying an hour just in case.... We still have 3 eggs. Next Sunday, maybe??????
