Faith is soaring higher!
June 16, 2021 - Kitchener - CTV-Bell Media Tower
Lisa Reh Reports:
Kim started the cold morning watch early and at 5:15 and reported that all were in the air! Two flew back to the building. A food drop was served just before 6:00. Three juvis were on the runway and one stayed on the roof. Dad came in a bit later and landed on the cross. A few minutes later the juvi that was on the roof flew to the cross and assumed Dad’s place.Mom dropped more food at 8:30.
Sandye reported at 11:00 a.m. that “there has been quite a bit of flying by one juvenile in particular and now a second one has joined in. At one point there were two young and both adults flying around.”
Wendy’s 5:00 p.m. update: “All 4 juveniles were on the runway in the right corner. Then Faith took off for a couple of long soaring flights. She was accompanied for the second flight by Dad, who at one point struck a turkey vulture who flew too close and sent feathers flying! The pair soared high up, and Faith was able to successfully land on top of the tower at the highest vantage point of the hospital. As Kath and I were leaving she took off again. It was a beautiful show! Someone stopped me in the parking lot and asked what we were looking at. He had seen us several times, and thought we were looking up at loved ones in the hospital since we couldn’t visit them. I told him we were looking at loved ones, since we have definitely formed attachments to the peregrines :-)”
Jamie ended the watch with this report: “Interesting night. Faith soared circles high up and distant for over 30 minutes. The kids were feisty. Some wrestling on the roof and in the air. They were not happy when Mom appeared after being absent for several hours with no food. Finished the night with two on the cross after driving dad off and two on the roof.”
