Catching Up with Etobicoke Sun Life Family
September 26, 2011 - Etobicoke - Sun Life Centre
Tracy Simpson Reports:
First off, let me apologize for the late posting as I have been unable to access the internet lately. That said, I have had the distinct pleasure of delivering our Project School Visit to Etobicoke schools this past week and took the opportunity to drop in on the Sun Life family for a check in. It was later in the afternoon on Sept. 23rd and Sept. 26th when I was at the site, and as expected I wasn’t able to locate either Angel or Jack, the resident adults, nor was I able to see either of the juvenile boys, Hera and Skye. Now that we are entering high time for migration of the young birds, the adults are less defensive of the nest ledge and travel further afield then they would have a short few months ago. The window washing team that was working on the nest building were able to work away without any interference from either adult the entire few hours that I spent on site which clearly indicates that “nesting” is now complete for the year. The adults will still use the building and ledge as a night roost and rest spot but it looks like Skye and Hera have the migration jitters and will be gone south very soon. We wish them the best on their journey and look forward to seeing Jack and Angel continue to call the Sun Life building home.
