Mom Identified
April 20, 2012 - Stoney Creek
Sue McCreadie Reports:
I’m happy to report that we were finally able to get a reading on Mom’s band 23/X black band.
Tracy Simpson Reports:
Marion and I were in the office today and looked up the 23 / X band number on the female. It is Athena hatched at William Osler Hospital in 2010 to Hurricane and O’Connor. She’s kinda made my day since O’Connor has been replaced. That would make her the granddaughter of Windwhistler who is nesting at 18 King St E in Toronto right now! Pretty cool!!
While we were on site today, a fellow from Rogers showed up and we got the scoop on the tower. It is used by Bell and Rogers and they were aware that the birds were nesting in the drum. The fellow we spoke to had not been on site for over a month, but was aware of the nest. The really good news is, the drum is not being used and they don’t have any intention of covering it or using it at the present time. He said that there were no microwaves that would affect the birds.
