!!! Sakura Fledges and Kenya is rescued.
June 21, 2011 - Toronto - King Street
Marion Nash Reports:
Sakura took several flights today 17 of them wow! This one is a great flyer!
Kenya on the other hand took 1 flight in the afternoon from the King Edward where we left him the night before to the office tower just behind the Hotel on wellington where he stayed until 8pm then took flight trying to get to the upper level to the same building but missed only by a foot.
He then fluttered down to about the 5th floor about a 20 floor drop before he hooked around to head south where he made a brief stop on top of the St Lawrence Centre and in one more unsuccessful attempt to gain altitude he went still further south to land on the roof of the old spaghetti Factory roof which was too low for comfort.
There were to tall towers on both sides and I knew he was going to end up on the ground in the alley in the back where he was or perhaps on the street in the Esplanade or as I was warned by restaurant workers eaten by the raccoons.
I called Mark who was on his way downtown to release one of the fledglings from the Sheraton Hotel who had been rescued by Linda Woods earlier and asked to stop by and help us get Kenya down from there before he slipped off into the dumpster 8 feet below or became raccoon dinner. Mark had a net with a telescopic pole so I thought if he could get access to the condo terrace nest door just feet from Kenya we could save him from this dark scary alley and perhaps a nasty fate.
Mark was there is about 15 minutes and into the security of the building who contact the resident who’s terrace we needed to go onto to and within minutes he was back with Kenya and a few new bite marks on his arms but Kenya was fine.
We got him back home to the 18 King st. roof where we left him safe and sound and headed off to the Sheraton to release Cinnamon who as I mentioned had been rescued earlier by Linda.
