Ottawa - Delta Ottawa City Centre

There was not much activity today, other than several meals delivered on time, and presumably lots of sleeping.  We did have people coming over to see what we were doing, or to get updates. One lady from Scotia McLeod came to say that she would be back in a few days and that we should be able to go look out their kitchen window at lunch time.  They are directly across from the ledge.  I also had 2 members of the Dutch Embassy also invite me up for late afternoon when I can show up.  Scott is checking with Revenue Canada for me to see if the officer who had let me in his office in Tower A is still there.

The glass windows over at 240 Sparks St will be covered with flagging between Thursday and Sunday, just in time for fledging.

Back to the Watch now.  Connor and Diana moved around from time to time.  And, then, around 8pm I spied a brown body near the south end, just up from the corner by the indented area.  Sure enough, there was a chicklet closer to the edge, little head bobbing around as it checked out new sights.  It was there for at least 15 minutes!  Feathering would make one believe it was older than it is.  Lots of brown, with fluff on the crown and bloomers, but next to none showing over the front or shoulders.  We could not see the back, but it was browner than I had expected.  Here we go…… Joan, you should have stayed a little longer!

Cheers, Eve
