WOW, WHAT A WEEK
June 16, 2010 - Burlington - Lift Bridge
Sue McCreadie Reports:
We have been kept so busy this week. Unfortunately, we have been getting home too late to do any reports. So much has happened that I can’t begin to recap the week. Both Brant and Diana have fledged. Brant on June 10th and Diana on June 13th. Diana unfortunately came to the ground on June 13th and had to be rescued. Luckily, Mark Nash was with us and was able to check her out and release her again that evening on the Hamilton Tower.
Today, the winds were so strong and the rain torrential that all birds, including Mom and Dad were kept very low and were hanging on for dear life. Winds are supposed to decrease by midnight. When we left at 7 PM, Brant and Diana were not visible as they were laying low on the Hamilton Tower roof. Both juveniles have been making some strong flights, but the landings are still a little shaky. We saw a little talon touching yesterday and look forward to more of that in the days to come.
