A Quick Stop at Etobicoke Sun Life
July 25, 2012 - Etobicoke - Sun Life Centre
Tracy Simpson Reports:
Yesterday I stopped in at Etobicoke Sun Life to check up on O’Connor, Jack and their three young fledglings. When I first arrived, the nest ledge was empty and so I set up at Eagle Rd. and Bloor for a while in the hopes of catching someone coming home. I wasn’t to be disappointed when Olympia came flying in and screamed at the pigeons on the rooftop to just get in her mouth and be done with it!! A couple of half hearted stoops at one of them was all that she was in to at the time and she spent the rest of her stint at home soaring beautifully above the buildings. After she disappeared to the south, I went on a hunt for others. I went north off of Aberfoyle onto Lomond and found Windward, her red tape very visible, hanging out on the west side of the most westerly tower of Sun Life just below the Canadian flag. She hung out there for a while and then took off and flew recon around the building rooftops also looking for a bit of dinner. She didn’t seriously stoop anything but her flights were also quite impressive. Great control and beautiful soars.
I left shortly thereafter before catching sight of the adults or little Euro, the only male, who I am sure was out and about with Mom. I will check back again in the coming week to see if I can spot anyone else at home.
