Horizon and Connor chose the Crown Plaza Hotel as their nest site again this year. The excitement began when Horizon was spotted brooding on April 16th, and four eggs had been confirmed by May 4th. On May 16th our first female was hatched, followed by her sister the next day, while the other two eggs disappeared very shortly after. Zanar proved to be the more acrobatic of the two sisters at first. Senator had to be rescued from a roof top where she was trapped in a narrow space surrounded by a high railing. After that adventure she decided it was wise to take quite a few days off. Soon enough, Senator joined her sister in the in the sky and the two became almost indistinguishable. They certainly are providing the citizens of Ottawa with remarkable aerial displays, and as always, their parents are there to supervise!
