Site Check at Duncan Mill Road
July 22, 2012 - Toronto - Don Mills
Bruce Massey Reports:
After visiting with Ben and Len at the Don Valley ICICI nest site, I popped in to 220 Duncan Mill Road to check up on Quest, Kendal and their three young ones. When I arrived, I didn’t have any birds in my immediate sights so I started a walk around of the buildings. My arrival was certainly right at “breakfast hunt” time and so I was anticipating an airshow but it was rather quiet. A rare moment for this site as the juveniles have been all over the nest building and neighboring area. As I came around the west side of the nest building, I found one of the juveniles relaxing and digesting breakfast. I could see by her red tape that this was Amora and she was quite happily preening the day away back at home base. The flight training for these three has certainly intensified and moved further afield as their aerial skills have become quite good. Even so, as Amora might say today, there is still no place like home and the juveniles will continue to use the building as their base of operations!
