!!! Jupiter
June 30, 2011 - Etobicoke - Sun Life Centre
Kathy Reports:
Today I recieved a call from Mark Nash, who had himself received a call from building security informing him that one of the juveniles was down on the low rooftops, was panting and not in very good shape.
By the time I got to her she was already gone. I knew when I saw the yellow tape on her band that it was our sweet Jupiter, our super star flyer and upstart that knocked mom of her perch with such bold confidence.
She was found directly under the glass on the roof towards the back of the roof. Her condition, her position and her rapid decline are consistent with the explanation Mark had given us of how devestating an impact is for them. I will leave the expert opinion to Mark to confirm what we found.
What is especially tragic about Jupiter’s loss is that she did everything right, she flew well, she stayed high. She came down low once but it wasn’t a crash landing, she was just in a place that was accessible by humans and other predators so we couldn’t risk leaving her there until she made her own way back up like her brothers did. Unfortunately no one told her about how deceptive those strange glass panels that reflect the blue sky and the clouds are.
I would like to say thank you to Sunlife Buiding Security team, they were wonderful to me today and are always looking out for our family. And a special thank you to the United Church member that kindly called to inform them that one of the kids was down on the roof and in trouble. Your thoughfulness is appreciated.
To my beautiful Jupiter - I consider myself honored to have known you and to have felt the downy softness of your feathers.
