All in view
June 23, 2008 - Toronto - Sheraton Centre
Linda Woods Reports:
I approached the Sheraton site from the south along Front, King St. in order to get a far sight line on to the south side of the buildings. I saw only one juvie on the south side of 130 Adelaide Mid section. I made my way over to University Ave and checked on the area where I had last seen Lily,the evening before. I did see tail feather hanging over the edge.
Viewing from the upper levels of the Sheraton I could see one juvie on the medsection of 130, and one on the cooling tower of 120 Adelaide. Jan later called and confirmed what I had been seeing. We both feel that perhaps one of the two ( Lily or Unity,) may be limping. And that is a possibility with the wall bounces these two have been doing.
Lily is finally back on this side of York Street and has joined her two sisters.
Belle continues to play the mentoring role of teacher,instructor. She continues to show flying skills to the other two. Jan had also seen what I saw yesterday. Belle trying to encourage her sister to fly with her.
Late afternoon, before the rain started I had seen one juvie fly to the roof of the Exchange Tower.
One juvie on 120 took off and flew in behind 130 tower and out of my view. A second band of rain and possible thunderstorms are headed this way.
The birds are learning quickly from thier encouraging sister.
The official day long watch is over, but daily spot monitoring is still required for a few more days or so.
Belle is doing wonderful. Lily our little stow-a-way, and Unity are a little behind Belle, but with her encouragement I am sure they will catch up very quickly.
They will continue to be in the direct area and the juvies attempting to return to the nest ledge. The adults are still using the nest ledge as a look out point.
Linda.
