!!! Way To Go, Star, First Flight For Lorenzo
June 08, 2010 - Toronto - Sheraton Centre
Linda Woods Reports:
After over nighting at the old day care, Star, finally made another flight. He ended up on the Keg Restaurant. For many years now, volunteers have wondered what it might be like to enjoy a meal at the Keg while watching a fledgling on an adjacent building. But once again we are teased as we watch from the outside, while Star stood directly over the entrance. I found star shortly after arriving on site.
The group of volunteers had to endeavour the day around the Keg, with the wonderful aromas of Grilled foods, knowing Star was there but could not see him. I guess with all the BBQ smoke, enough was enough for the little guy and he took flight again around 7p.m.
He came towards York Street and banked left and headed south along York St. to Adelaide and gaining height. As soon as he turned left at Adelaide Street. I started to question myself, ” was that really a Juvie and not a peregrine wanna be pigeon?” I last saw him gaining height heading towards the Lombard building on Adelaide ( party hat). I lost track of him. Bruce and I started searching this general area. I retraced my steps, re visioned the flight path. A ha! I found him, and good for him. He had made it all the way up to the west facing side of the Lombard building and landed dead centre of the west facing glass panel window, sitting at the base. The sun was shining on this area and when I looked, He was sitting straight up and looking proud as punch. Good Job, good strong flight.
From that area, he took a few more flights west, ending up on the Dominon Building at Adelaide and University, tried to head for the DBRS across the street, circled back and headed west towards University. At one time Star had given Marion and I a scare. He was last seen headed for the Shangra La construction site, but had circlled back and ended up on a tight window ledge behind the Dominion Building.
Lorenzo ( Red ) Took first Today and I was not there to see it. But Zoe and Harry did. At last light for the day, Lorenzo was still on the west, south west corner of the Bell building on Adelaide St. Where he had been for the most of the day. This building is high, so a good flight for him.
Legacy ( yellow) the youngest was fed on the ledge, this evening around 7:00p.m. He is the youngest and I guess he’ll enjoy the room to himself for the next day or so until he takes his first flight.
