Marion Nash Reports:
Milburn’s fledge & rescue, Saturday, June 13 - One fledge watcher reported:
“Lots of excitement this morning! After flying towards the golf course, he ended up on our outdoor pool fence. The blue jays were not impressed with the intruder and started to attack him. Our watchers waved towels without much success. Milburn took off and flew into the trees on the golf course side and landed on the ground. A couple of watchers drove over there, talked to one of the employees into letting them borrow a golf cart and the employee led them to where Milburn was stuck. Just like they were taught, the watchers took towels, got Milburn and placed him into a box. CPF volunteer Lucie Kirchknopf brought a proper carrier, and put Milburn into it. Security got in touch with residence manager who very willingly took Milburn and a watcher to the roof and released him.”
Scarlet’s fledge & rescue, Saturday, June 13 - One fledge watcher reported:
“Just to advise that Scarlet has safely fledged - is sitting on a low balcony ledge and I have perfect view of her - she is calm”
In the evening, one fledge watcher reported:
“Scarlet took off across the street to a parking lot and latched onto the fence. A brave person got her into his grasp/bare handed (said all you have to do is hold the wings) they placed her in the box. She was put back on the roof that night”
Cheers, Lucie
