Tracy Simpson Reports:
The watch for the MEC site is nearing an end now. I have much to post and will follow up this evening with details but for now the short notes are this.
On Sunday Mary flew out of the tree and bounced off of building 3 which turned her back to the MEC 1 nursery. Angelina stayed up on MEC 3 for the time being. Mary flew again from the nursery and faceplanted into MEC 4 before flying out of view.
On Monday, Mary was found by Lucie up at the BDC building a half a kilometre to the north. Angelina had made a few flights one of which was back to the nest box. Mary then made an epic flight home to MEC 3 and made it. Angelina flew back to MEC 3 and Mary made one more flight to MEC 1 nest box.
Tuesday morning at dawn, tragedy struck when Angelina and Mary both took flight. Mary ended up in a tree near MEC 4 and Angelina struck the back of MEC 1. Angelina’s strike was fatal. Mary made another epic flight around the complex and came down out of energy back near the BDC where Lucie rescued her. She was released last night and flew in the dark over to MEC 1 safely.
I will post detailed accounts of these days this evening as the notes are always important when we look back to reference a season. Mary looks well on her way… …again. Angelina, sweet girl, RIP. Glad we were there for you as much as we could have been.
More to come.
