Burlington - Lift Bridge

Pretty Quiet

April 08, 2012 - Burlington - Lift Bridge

Sue McCreadie Reports:

Since the last report, it has been pretty quiet around the Lift Bridge.  Full incubation is underway.  We have been there for a couple of hours every day.  The most interesting thing we have observed is that Mackenzie, has almost always been on the eggs.  Yesterday when we arrived Mackenzie was in the box and Cirrus flew in from somewhere under the Skyway.  She had a full crop so she had been off enjoying a meal.  She flew to the nest box and a great long conversation took place.  She won the argument I guess because Mackenzie, reluctantly, got off the eggs and flew to the Hamilton Tower.  Within a few seconds Cirrus disappeared inside the box and that was the end of the activity.  We packed up and headed for home.
