!!! Sad news to report. First mortality of the season!
May 22, 2012 - Mississauga - Executive Centre
CPF Postmaster Reports:
May 22nd-2012
We have sad news to report. The first young juvenile took its first flight today, but sadly it was not a planned first flight. Ledge hopping had the juvenile named Jennifer - (banded Black 56 over X) come up short from one ledge to the other and a guest of wind had it in the air in a panic flight struggling to hold its altitude. In an effort to catch some air, it turned and with a tail wind slammed into the windows of MEC #1 and died on impact.
56 over X was picked up by Bruce and brought back to the CPF Raptor centre for holding until it can be transferred to the OMNR at our next meet. MNR has been notified.
The other two MEC siblings are all doing fine and still on the nest ledge.
