June 22, 2016 - Toronto - Canada Square Building - Yonge and Eglinton
Marion Nash Reports:
Before I got to the watch today Toronto Police 53 Division called to let me know that one of the falcons was down. I asked them to try a rescue and that I was on my way. By the time Mark and I had arrived the fledgling had evaded their attempt to capture her and was now in their back parking lot. Mark was able to easily net her and found that she was just fine so we put her in the rescue carrier for a trip back to the balcony just below the nest ledge where her parents can continue her care and give another chance and the altitude she needs to fly. Thanks to our great friends at 53 division Symphony lives another day and has a second chance.
Message from 53 Division
Attached are some photos from today’s rescue. We were all very happy that we had a small helping hand in making sure that Symphony was safe and returned to her nest. I also have a short video (about 1 min, 11 seconds long), of the rescue however I’m not able to email it as it is too long. I will try to send it to your Foundation’s FB page.

After Symphony’s rescue we had a chance to scope the nest ledge and only saw Louise no Quasar. Mark went in search of Quasar while I kept an eye on Louise but not long after he left I saw Dad swoop down and land just above the mall entrance across Eglinton very low, too low for an adult so I suspected our Quasar might be there somewhere. Less than 2 minutes later she pooped up out of a depression on the ledge right beside her dad and took flight west on Eglinton very low and dad chased after her, I radioed Mark and took off after the pair up Eglinton where I saw them hook back to the east heading back to Canada Square and home and with a little help from the wind and her dad who flew under her and bumped her up from below 3 times she made it right back to the porch beside Louise and a safe landing what a great dad!
