Wednesday August 17,
I spent an hour outside 53 Division watching Chester and his mom. I am convinced the *squawker* is Chester, the youngest! Mom was on the south face of the Rio-Can building and Chester was on the railing around the antenna on the TVO building. Mom flew over Chester and tried to get him to fly with her but he said no. He flew south and at the time he flew, I saw a bird heading towards him just dive to earth and then Chester reappeared on the railing. I am not sure if he was *hunting* that bird or not – the bird thought so, though!
Mom flew over Chester a number of times. He did move to please her and landed on top of the tall Condo building. They eventually did some flying together but Chester would find a perch and sit and squawk. He really is reluctant to become independent. Then to my absolute horror I saw mom ON a balcony and then to double the horror Chester landed on the balcony railing and hopped down to the balcony as well! This was on the tall condo building. I was not a happy camper. After three long minutes of messing around on the balcony, first one then the other flew!
At the end of the observation period when they re-appeared after a disappearance mom was carrying a package. Chester was squawking madly and followed her in to the balcony level on the south face of Canada Square. He landed a bit away from her. Mom flew, again with the package, to the building under the TVO antenna. She looked back at Chester but did not call him. Mom left the package and flew off and whilst I was writing Chester also flew. I left at that point. I don’t know if Chester found the package or not.
