Fledge watch Day 2

June 08, 2009 - Ottawa - Delta Ottawa City Centre

CPF Volunteer Reports:

Our 2nd day is over now, with a bit of excitement thrown in, but not by our chicklets.  Apparently they spent the day eating and sleeping!

The events happened for the volunteers entertainment.  The first was a man across the street who was very rude and loud, accosting women waiting for the buses, and eventually one of the men waiting there who tried to get him to leave.  That man was hit and kicked for his efforts, but not badly.  Meanwhile 3 or 4 busses where lined up, but not letting people off for a bit.  All drivers called in to OCTranspo and the police.  We asked the Security of C Sq to call the police as well.  When 2 cars arrived, I went over to talk with them as did the man who tried to help.  The nasty one had ended up taking another bus.  We were able to tell the police which bus, his description, etc.

All was quiet again until Chris Traynor arrived to do a roof check of our babies.  As I had thought, we knew exactly when he arrived on the roof as both falcons immediately went after him, screaming and diving.  Knowing what a scary feeling that can be if you are the one being threatened, Chris is amazingly calm about all of this.  Unfortunately he was not able to see the chicklets as they were tucked in close to the front corner.

All was quiet again as we left this evening.
