Windward Released at Etobicoke Sun Life
June 16, 2012 - Etobicoke - Sun Life Centre
Tracy Simpson Reports:
After spending most of the evening last night combing the area for Windward, I was sure by O’Connor’s behaviour that the young one was somewhere on the Aberfoyle side of the Sun Life Centre. Today, Frank, Baylie and Kathy put in a tremendous effort to look around the area and found Windward trapped behind the glass balcony of one of the condos. Together the team worked with the superintendant and others to affect a successful rescue and a really hissy Windward was placed in a rescue carrier for later release and exam.
Marion and I arrived at the site around 10:30pm after closing the Canada Square watch with Lyn and we headed up to security to pick up little Windward for release. Hissy doesn’t quite describe our girl. She wanted O-U-T!! NOW!! Well, up to the roof we go with Gavin from Paragon Security as our assistant and thank godness for both Gavin and Marion or this would not have gone as smoothly as it did. I made my way up the ladder to the roof access and Marion helped me haul the carrier up to the roof level. I stayed low and out of sight so as not to alert Mommy Bird. I made it over to the retaining wall on the north side and no sooner had I opened the carrier and Windward came walking out like a pumped up body builder!! This was a clear message to me to “get lost, my roof” so I beat a hasty retreat and left the little one to gain her bearings.
A great release following on the heels of a great tragedy with the loss of Regatta. Being there for these little ones is why we volunteer all of these crazy hours and push ourselves so hard. The rewards of a successful release is so worth it!! Check back tomorrow for pictures of Windward’s great adventures.
