A Good Day at Etobicoke Sun Life
June 14, 2012 - Etobicoke - Sun Life Centre
Tracy Simpson Reports:
While Frank is unable to reach a computer for a detailed update, I still wanted to share what I have been seeing at the close of the watch when I am on shift. He will provide you with a full summary report in the next few days.
I arrived on site tonight at around 8pm to relieve Frank and found Regatta on the corner of the easternmost condo tower, Windward was on a weird ledge on the first condo tower, Euro was somewhere on the roof of the same building and Olympia was taking part in her most favorite activity which is napping. O’Connor was on top of the first condo keeping her eyes on all 4 of her young ones and Jack was perched on the retaining wall on the roof of the nest building. O’Connor took off and shortly returned with a huge pigeon which she enjoyed eating on the ledge to the right of the nest. As you can well imagine, this created a ruckus amongst the kids who were all interested in a nighttime snack. She took what she didn’t eat over to the nest ledge and shared it with Olympia. This drew out Regatta from the second condo who flew over and landed on the ledge O’Connor had just left. Oops. Wrong spot for gettin’ eats. She didn’t care much though. She was so happy to return to the nest building that she laid down for a nap. O’Connor left the ledge and headed back to her perch. Within half an hour, Jack took off and returned with another small meal which O’Connor flew in and deftly removed it from his grasp and proceed up to the condo tower with it. She then flew back to the nest ledge and in doing so, drew in Windward from her napping ledge and two minutes later, Euro from the roof of the first condo. With the light of the day disappearing, 3 kids were now on the nest ledge and Regatta was one ledge to the right separated only by a concrete divider.
Just as the darkness became thick, O’Connor flew into the nest ledge and entered the nest tray where she beak tapped each of the three kids that were there and then settled into the tray beside them. Unbelievable how attentive she is and how strong her connection is to her kids. She was like this when she was at the William Osler Hospital site as well but the tray at that location is behind the sign and so this level of affection was harder to witness. She really is supermom and as I have said over the last four seasons of watching her, she is one of the most incredible falcons I have ever witnessed. I feel incredibly honored.
Check back for pictures of the kids over the last few days as they will be coming tomorrow.
