Peregrine Follies Begin!!
June 27, 2011 - Toronto - Sheraton Centre
Linda Woods Reports:
Harry left the trio in goods hands of Annie and Zoe this afternoon. Cinnamon was still on the north side of 120 Adelaide, Kate was on the east side of 120 Adelaide and ,Sunshine, well she’s out and about.
Kate has been doing short flights around 120 and recovering well from aborted landings. Sunshine returned to 120 to keep her siblings company. A small amount of food was dropped, but Sunshine was on it in a heart beat. Kate got a small share, and Cinnamon could see what was happening above him.
Around 8p.m., finally an adult showed and went into the nest ledge, Sunshine was following. This got Kate all excited, she took off from 120 and attempted to return to the nest ledge. She missed the landing and ended up on the 39th floor open window of the Sheraton. Annie tracked her and kept a close eye on her, cause she wasn’t going to stay there very long. Annie reported that it looked like Kate may have had her talon caught up in the rubber seal of the window pane. When she finally released, she opened the window even further. Kate flew south west and ended up doing the “Bat Maneuver” on the east side of the Hilton Hotel. She was up high, but clinging to the wall. She held on for what seemed like an eternity. Finally releasing from there and flew a little further south west to the roof of the DBRS building. She did loose height. Cinnamon is not really reacting to this activity. Annie keeping a close eye on Cinnamon, while I kept my eye on Kate. 8:45 Kate took off from the DBRS and headed east along Adelaide and landed on the lower east facing level of 130 Adelaide, on the top of the swing stage. Cinnamon was comfortable where he was and paid little attention. He did some flapping and moved to the edge of this area, making us believe he may take off, but he didn’t
So Annie and I closed the watch for the evening, with Cinnamon on the north silver strut of 120 Adelaide, Kate on the lower east side of 130 Adelaide and Sunshine out with the adults.
