Raptorette Flew
June 26, 2019 - Toronto - Canada Square Building - Yonge and Eglinton
Marion Nash Reports:
Lance and I watched the chicks for a couple hours and all they did was sleep in the heat I think they had been fed and were not much interested in flying.
Late this afternoon Raptorette made a short flight out to a crane in front of the nest but missed the landing. She flew towards the Canadian Tire building and hooked back landing on a small scaffold just in front of the nest ledge.
Mark and Tracy joined me watching until early evening Tracy had to go to check on the Mt Sinai chicks. The boys spent most of the evening flying around and in and out of the nest. Spicy P is the best flyer of the 4. The boys are a check mark as far as the watch goes but need to check up on Raptorette who is a bit of a ledge potato and is not making many flights (we have only seen 2 flights from her so far). Mark and I closed the watch at dark and 2 chicks were on the nest ledge and 2 were 2 ledges over with Haven on the roof.
Not the best photos but best I could do with my little camera.
