A star is born, and back to the coffee shop
June 17, 2008 - Toronto - Sheraton Centre
Linda Woods Reports:
Arriving at the Sheraton site at 7a.m., I found Lily still on the Keg and Belle on the upper roof of the Four Seasons Performing Arts building. Belle had gained some height from last nite.
For the first two hours, large trucks moved close Lily, but that did not get her off her spot.
Later in the morning I could hear the adults Kaking, and Jan had said Belle had moved from her previous position. I walked around the entire Arts Centre and also moved back into Osgoode Hall, but did not see anything, not even Belle.
Back to The Keg, Lily did eventually fly towards the court area and sat on the cross bars of the outside eating area of the Keg.
She was there until around 6p.m. when the rains came again and she moved to a near by window ledge where is had another sleep over.
Around 3:00p.m. I recieved a call regarding a bird in a awkward area of the Four Seasons Performing Arts building.
The bird, Belle had come to sit on the glass canopy at the main entrance and a big fundraising gala for the National Ballet Company.
The staff at the Arts Centre had wondered why the bird was there.
I told them she was audtioning for the lead role in “Swan Lake”. They told me the role was filled, and then they smiled. I explained about the nest at the Sheraton and what was happening.
I assured the staff that the bird was fine and was not going to interrupt the event.
Moments later Belle took off across University Avenue and came to rest on the Adam Beck Memorial statue across from the Arts Centre.
Not comfortable there and with the rain starting, she took flight again.
Not a strong flight but she maintained altitude. This time she came to rest on the court yard south of the Hilton. More rain and not comfortable she took off again and I finally found her at ….. Starbuck’s on the corner of York St.
During all this, a quick check on Lily and she too had moved,… a little bit, to a low window sill adjacent to the Keg patio.
That is where they will spend the night. Adult seen on the tail of the “S” at night fall.
Unity was seen throughout the day sitting on the nest ledge. No feeding were seen to the fledged birds.
