All Three Chicks At MEC Bopping About!!
May 22, 2012 - Mississauga - Executive Centre
Tracy Simpson Reports:
With the banding of the young having been completed on May 14th, the young nestlings are now growing in their flight feathers and gaining in confidence as they explore the world outside the box. Bruce Massey stopped in this morning and saw that two of the young, Jennifer and Skyreach, were outside of the box and were wandering the ledge. They dropped down into the window well out of sight and a few minutes later, up pops little Janet showing off her yellow tape on her USFW band.
Bruce left the site around 11:00am and I returned later in the afternoon to check in on a possible feeding. I must have missed it by moments when I arrived at 5:00pm as all three of the youngsters were now in the box and snoring up a storm. Sante, the resident male, was sitting on the corner keeping watch and the resident female, Rogue, was over on MEC 4 keeping a close eye as well.
The Fledge Watch for the MEC site begins this Wednesday May 23rd as Jennifer reaches 37 days of age. If you would like to help out watching the juveniles taking their first flights, please contact our head office and we would be pleased to have you attend and watch with us. Come on out and join the Fledge Watch crew as the fun is about to begin!!
