!!! Rain, Rain Go AWAY!!
May 03, 2011 - Etobicoke - Sun Life Centre
Kathy Reports:
It poured rain all day today and it was cold, a truly miserable day for bird watching if you’re not a bird!
My timing was off a seconds this morning - as I arrived Jack was climbing into the nestbox and Angel quickly flew over to the next condo. I saw feathers flying and assumed Jack had brought her breakfast so decided to cross the street to get a better view of her eating..well as soon as I’m in the middle of traffic she immediately flies back to the ledge and I missed her talons to see if there was food as I was keeping an eye on traffic.
She climbed into the nestbox with Jack…I waited for the usual departure but nope he stayed in the box with her. I thought okay something is up…I could clearly see both of them..his tail feathers as he was laying down and the top of her back. Waited another 5 minutes and still he did not depart. Most curious…but I was going to be late for work and it was wet and cold so in I went.
Two of us checked every 45 minutes to 1 hour alternating and Jack was on site every single time…Angel stayed hunkered inside the nestbox. When I left the office, I stood in the pouring rain for 25 minutes under my umbrella and Jack stood with me on his usual perch …sadly I gave in first and left.
So to conclude..I know something is happening up there but can’t say for certain yet . It’s expected to continue pouring all night and drying out for the morning. Hopefully I will get some more clues or something conclusive tomorrow. Rhae Mae started incubation about a day before our nest and she had a hatch first thing this morning so we should be on track for one today or tomorrow as well.
