Spending my Birthday with my feathered friends :)

We arrived to find no fledglings at the nest this morning so I went on a walkabout to try to find Quasar and Louise who must have taken off early. Malik was sitting on the farthest north ledge so I expected they were not too far away but where, cant find then on the block. I know from all the years on the watch at this site that it is best to just sit and watch the adults sooner or later they will come in with food and the chicks will pop up someplace and start yelling to be fed. I sat down to wait for Mom or Dad to show me where they were.

When Bruce arrived I took a trip to the store on Eglinton and Duplex for some water and sure enough mom flew into view and the chicks sounded off. Bruce spotted Louise on Rio Can and I found Quasar on TVO. Quasar’s spot on TVO had a ledge that dropped down a couple feet. He was up and down several times so that is why I could not find him when I got there he must have been down out of site and Louise was so tight to the corner of Rio Can she was very easy to miss until she moved.

Bruce was very worried about Symphony and decided to head off north in search of her once again and I stayed to keep an eye on the other 2.
Bruce came back about and hour and a half later hot and tired having pounded the Pavement for several blocks with no luck. I told him don’t worry there is a very good chance she will make her way home, yesterdays flight was high and strong she is likely up on a balcony somewhere.

Mark joined us at 6:00 PM and was just setting up the scope when Bruce shouted who’s that pointing up at the roof top of Rio Can, We all looked up and could confirm that it was Symphony back from her adventure. She spent a little time there then flew to the nest building landing on the top of the roof.

The evening ended at dark with all 3 chicks in the same place and all safe and high.
