Ottawa - Delta Ottawa City Centre

Most of the day was quiet, as we expected. After all, our oldest is 33 days old today.  The chicklets had breakfast, but not much else for most of the day, according to the log book.  The adults were seen at times, and on antennas or out of sight at other times.  It is rather cold here.  We have done the Falcon Watch in most all kinds of weather, and Albert St is known as a wind tunnel.  It lived up to its reputation today.

I had decided that we could shut down early this evening as all was quiet and no activity was expected.  Around 7:40pm I was starting to get things together when Nancy said she could see white up near the corner.  Connor, supposedly.  Or not!  It was the top of a fuzzy head!!  I could also see a couple of wing flaps!  Oh, no!  Too early…….  thankfully that was it for the sighting this evening.  There was lots of noise soon when the adults showed up nearby.  They left again.  Eventually Connor came in to the southwest corner with a kill, but I could not see what it was.  After a long time ( I was sure he was eating), he brought something around to the nest ledge when Diana flew in to feed her chicklets.  Then all was really quiet and we packed up for today.

We are really short of volunteers!  I hope more show up soon.

Cheers, Eve
