!!! FIRST RESCUE and RELEASE
June 17, 2009 - Toronto - Sheraton Centre
Linda Woods Reports:
A Great Big THANK -YOU to the Sheraton Centre Hotel Pool Staff person and Security Staff for assisting in the recovery of ” Liberty”.
Liberty, confirmed by her leg bands, was found in the pool area on one of the chaise lounges without a towel. Pool personal notified hotel security of this fashion faux pas.
Security came to the rescue and safely secured the area and gently placed the 47day old female into the animal carrier.
Liberty took her first flight yesterday morning at 09:15 hours and appeared to be doing very well. Jan had good view of her as she took off and was very pleased of how well she flew. Today, Harry, Jan, Marion and Bruce could only confirm that we had a count of three juvies throughout the day.
With the constant rain that moved into the area, it was difficult to see the juveniles on the tall structures and the watch was closed for the day. Three were confirmed in view at that time. Hopefully this will be the fourth.
On examination, by Bruce and myself, Liberty was found to be free of any signs of trauma and was in a good hissy mood.
She was returned to the nest ledge at around 22:00 hours and quickly settled in the dark.
Canadian Peregrine Foundation, and the dedicated group of peregrine followers from Rochester, New York ( who named Liberty ) would like to thank the hotel staff for the bird’s safe recovery.
Kudo’s for a job well done. Thanks.
Thanks Bruce for coming all the way back to release her.
