May 20, 2016 - Toronto - Canada Square Building - Yonge and Eglinton
Mark Nash Reports:
May 19th - 2016
Banding date for the Canada Square is set and booked (rain or shine) for June 6th at 11am!
Things are happening fast and furious this season with more than a dozen nest sites having hatches all within the same ten day period, we are, as usual scrambling to arrange bandings with everyone involved, two window washers companies, all of the building management groups, rock climber, press and media, Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forrest, Canadian Wildlife Service and Environment Canada, and a host of other support team members and CPF volunteers needed to make it all happen!
With a very short window of opportunity to actually safely extract and band the hatchlings (between 18 days and 28 days old),, the very short ten day window of opportunity to band all of these nest sites when their hatch days are so close, is a daunting task to say the least!!!
That being said, the various banding dates are being booked, changed, rescheduled and then re-booked and confirmed again as all of the pieces eventually come together to meet everyone’s schedules, which of course all surrounds the hatch days and ages of the hatchlings!
Banding date for the Canada Square is set and booked (rain or shine) for June 6th at 11am!
With so many banding dates to meet, we will be banding several nest sites on the same day in some cases and the dates are being booked as usual, with very short notice. Welcome to working with wildlife that have their own schedule!! 
We will be out in Mississauga in the afternoon on June 6th doing yet another banding at 3pm!!
