!!! Lots of Kacking today!
September 08, 2009 - Etobicoke - Sun Life Centre
Kathy Reports:
Took me 30 minutes to get anID on Jack today in the blazing, hot sun but I’m pretty sure it’s him. Very white upper breast and the sideburns are the same shape as his - couldn’t see his feet though. I had to go into a back lane behind the retail area to get a look at the side of his head to verify as he was standing right on top of the building in the hot sun - very unusual especially as it’s 30c today - both parents were alarm calling and defending several times today that I heard about and a few times I witnessed.
11:55 today and by that point I had only seen Angel early in the morning. Suddenly she started alarm calling and flew off the ledge over the condo rooftops and Jack, who was on the roof not visible to me, came flying to join her and both took off after something. I didn’t see what the ’something’ was but pigeons were scattering everywhere.
1:00 approximately and alarm calling again, only saw 2 adult falcons in the air but no sign of intruder that I saw.
2:55 again alarm calling and male takes off northwest over the park, mom gets on top of the building and starts kacking. Once again - blinded by sunlight - and no sign of who was upsetting them.
3:30 and both Angel and Jack on the roof ledge looking around. They were both on alert for something and then finally by 4:06 pm Angel relaxed enough to go back to the nest ledge while Jack stayed up top on guard in all his glory.
No sign of Elena today I haven’t spotted her since Thursday when the jets were around and they flew all weekend so maybe she decided it was time to go, especially with both parents now back and defending the territory together!
