CANADA SQUARE 3 fledged
June 26, 2019 - Toronto - Canada Square Building - Yonge and Eglinton
Marion Nash Reports:
I stopped in at Canada Square nest site tonight to check on the four fledglings and see how they were doing. At first I couldn’t find anyone. Then slowly the heads began to pop up as Haven was making passes at pigeons in the neighborhood. The first juvenile to stick it to head up was way up on top of the Rio Can building . It had been flat out sleeping and so was difficult to see. The second juvenile was up on top of the Heart and Stroke building. Another high flier! Haven then settled in on the upright right above the nest ledge and up popped head number three. This juvenile was down on what we call the porch and was looking for some shade. I was still missing one and was waiting patiently for that fourth head to pop up. When it did finally make an appearance, what a grand appearance it was! This juvenile came in from out of nowhere and was soaring on the thermals above the nest building. It continued to circle and soar for a good 2 to 3 minutes before finally landing on the roof of the Canadian Tire building. Unbelievable flight by this one. Three of these juveniles are definitely checkmarks and the fourth, the one on the porch, we will be watching tomorrow to see how it does. I was able to take some photographs of the young ones but being that they are distant I will have to look on my computer at home and blow the photos up to get tape colour and properly identify who is who. More to come.
