Is Osler still bearing a grudge?
June 29, 2009 - Toronto - Sheraton Centre
Jan Chudy Reports:
Checking in at 8 a.m., one juvenile was visible in the nest ledge. At 2 p.m. an adult was on the nest ledge and a juvenile was in view on the air handling unit of 120 Adelaide. At 4:45, one juvenile was on the Sheraton nest ledge and one was on the NE corner of the other hotel. As I watched it took off and flew to the east wall of the Sheraton roof. A few minutes later, an adult arrived on the nest eldge with food. The juvie ran towards it and the adult took off - the juvie stayed put! A few moments later a large juvenile (must be a female) flew up to the Sheraton nest ledge. The juvie already there (either Osler or Stormin) got VERY excited and was running up and down and jumping up and down flapping its wings. The female went to the dge of the ledge and the male came up behind her and gave her a nudge from behind. She managed to stay on the ledge but the male remained very excited. The female moved to the back wall of the ledge and the male followed and ran full tilt at her, hitting her! A third juvie remained on the east side of the other hotel.
