The Sheraton Airshow is On!
July 08, 2015 - Toronto - Sheraton Centre
Harry Crawford Reports:
Alex and I met at the Sheraton Centre at 10am. Nothing was visible from ground level so we went up to Sheraton 43. An adult was on the northwest corner of 130 Adelaide W. A few minutes later, we saw a bird flying high and to the south. It circled back and headed towards us. It was Sandy! She was close enough to see her dark chest and appeared to head for the Sheraton roof. Down to street level south of 120 Adelaide W we went. Alex spotted her head just to the right of the swing stage. She remained there until workers appeared on the roof behind her. She took off and headed towards Scotia Plaza and mom joined her. She was so high and flying like an adult.
We were about to call it a day and thought of dropping by Osgoode Hall and bring Irena up to date. We were on the sidewalk on University Ave. just west of Osgood Hall when Alex spotted an adult, Rhea-Mae, on Canada Life just below the weather beacon. Sandy comes in from the south and mom joins her. Then in comes Tiago and we have an airshow. What a spectacular fifteen minutes of flying. At times they were quite high. Alex spotted Sandy talon touching with mom. It was just luck that we were there to see this as they are now all over the place.
