Look How We’ve Grown
May 30, 2009 - Burlington - Lift Bridge
Sue McCreadie Reports:
Paul Reynolds Reports:
Good morning Bill & Sue, I arrived at the bridge this morning at 9:30 to go fishing. I sat drinking my coffee watching for the birds. Cirrus made two attempts on pigeons missing each time. Then at 9:45 Sir came back in from Burlington with a blackbird and settled on the picnic table and proceeded to consume it. Cirrus did a couple of fly by’s. While watching Sir a couple of feathers floated down in front of me, and looking up Cirrus had caught a pigeon above me then took it to the buttress under the Skyway Bridge. She sat on it for a while and then flew over to the Hamilton Tower where it was stored for later. I then left to go down the pier. Sir had finished his meal and was now on the Hamilton hydro tower.
Paul.
Bill and I arrived at the Lift Bridge around 1:00 pm. As Paul reported above, they must have had a good morning of hunting because there seemed to be caches everywhere. As the day wore on, there were several feedings, but all the prey was taken from their storage locations. We didn’t really see any hunting today but as Paul reported, they had been at is early. As another storm approached from the North West, we headed for home around 7:00 pm, happy that the little ones had been well fed today.
