!!! August Update
August 28, 2009 - Etobicoke - Sun Life Centre
Kathy Reports:
Jack (the resident male) has not been seen at all since the violent storm and tornado’s we had. Although sightings of him had been infrequent prior to the storm, he was usually around after bad weather and would spend a few days at this nest site.
In another interesting turn of events, Elena - our female juvenile can now be seen almost daily since the storm perching on Jack’s usual spot. Early mornings usually finds her and Angel having breakfast together or sitting quietly together. Both male juveniles have been gone for a few weeks now, out exploring the world no doubt and I had assumed that Elena had gone with them but she turned up the morning after the storm and has been seen daily since then.
Angel has been out hunting and defending the territory on her own lately. The other day I witnessed her attacking a very large bird - they were both too far up for me to identify the possible predator without binoculars - but the other bird didn’t even flinch when she started diving at it. She did succeed in driving it out however it was more like he just leisurely flew out as she kacked and attacked. The other bird was much larger than she was.
I have also observed that she has been having some difficulty maintaining her balance lately - I’m not sure if she has injured one of her talons but even when she lands on the cam, she has trouble securing herself and yesterday spent several minutes trying to get herself into place.
This morning Angel is nowhere to be seen as of yet, out getting breakfast no doubt and Elena is on Jack’s usual perch.
