MEC on Saturday Night
June 06, 2016 - Mississauga - Executive Centre
CPF Volunteer Reports:
Started off with both youngsters on MEC3 and ended the night with both on MEC3. They should be out of sight, in on the well, second well from the right on the Desjardins face of MEC3 in the morning.
Blue flew 4 times between 1 and 3 however Red did a bit of gap jumping but not much else. Blue also flew short distances from roof height to window/nest box levels on both 1 and 3. His flights were pretty good considering he fledged today. Kept altitude very well and landings were slow and safe although awkward. He did have a few minutes of doing the bat on 1 but flew to 3, over the roof, circled back to 1 and landed on the roof with only minor landing issues.
The adults proved that no meal sized bird is to fly at half the height of the MEC buildings. Two pigeons and a mallard were attacked but all escaped very close calls. Renegade did bring in a small food parcel a little after 6 but if it was shared by both chicks, neither could be well fed as that was the only food of the night.
