Two chicks still missing

June 13, 2012 - Toronto - Sheraton Centre

Harry Crawford Reports:

Morning Shift:  I spent the better part of the morning looking
for the missing chicks.  I wasn’t able to find them or even the
adults.  The chicks on the ledge were not visible until around
10am.  My travels took me as far as Metro Hall - all the way to
City Hall.  Two trips to 43 didn’t find anything.  On my second
trip there around 10am I did see an adult heading towards Metro
Hall.

At ground level both chicks were now on the ledge - running and
flapping.  They spent about 15 minutes doing this and then the
parents came by.  The male stayed on the hotel logo and mother
made about 10 passes of the nest ledge in a counter-clockwise
manner.  These chicks are ready to go.  By about 10:30 the chicks
settled down and the parents disappeared.  At one time in the
courtyard, I could hear chicks calling but it could have been
from the nest ledge.
