Etobicoke Sun Life Getting Ready
April 30, 2013 - Etobicoke - Sun Life Centre
Tracy Simpson Reports:
On Sunday, Bruce and I attended the Etobicoke Sun Life nest site to check up on O’Connor and Jack’s progress towards hatching eggs. We travelled back along Eagle Road for a view of the nest tray and we could see that O’Connor was in the tray laying down with her tail braced against the edge and her back feathers somewhat elevated. We decided to take an elevated look to determine whether any of the eggs had hatched yet as she is due any day now.
I found O’Connor in the tray and she was all dreamy faced. She was sleeping for the most part and boy is she ever cute… …when she’s sleeping! She was positioned like a muffin top but not quite the full arch that we saw last year when her first egg had hatched. There was no evidence of a shell or a young one beneath her yet but Bruce and I agree that she is very close. Jack was not in the area at the time and was most likely out on an evening hunt as O’Connor had clearly already eaten. Of course I took a jillion pictures in the hopes of a quick reveal and I was not disappointed when she repositioned. My little superzoom can do some pretty amazing distances. No little heads yet in view but close!!
I will be back to check on the pair again today to see if we have our first hatch at Etobicoke Sun Life.
