!!! No Eggs Yet.

March 23, 2011 - Etobicoke - Sun Life Centre

Kathy Reports:

Well despite the intentions and efforts of Jack the past few mornings,  it’s safe to say nothing yet.  I have noticed Angel has been sticking close to the nestbox the past few mornings so I was kind of hopeful however the temperature has gone from plus 10 yesterday to minus 12 with windchill and blowing snow this morning and she’s flying around or sitting on her web cam.  If she had an egg or two in the box, she would be trying to keep it warm in this mess I’m sure.  That being said, Jack could be on duty however it’s too blustery to see or stay out there too long so I’ll check again later if it calms down.  I know it seems early but prior to last year, Angel was always the first out of the gate here in Toronto and was at least one week ahead of other nest sites.  I guess with 2 sites and 2 females to attend to - it will be a week later like last year!

March 24th..update.

Very cold morning here, minus 11 with the wind chill but very sunny out.  Saw both Jack and Angel this morning.  She was in the nest box when he arrived with food however both then stayed out for almost an hour.  She ate her breakfast on the ‘mating’ corner and he stayed perched on the cam.  An hour later when I checked she was sunning herself on the cam.  I didn’t have time to check if he was nearby and in the rush to get inside wiped out on the ice and hobbled back inside.  Welcome to Spring 2011!
