William Osler Still on Track

April 16, 2013 - Etobicoke - William Osler

Tracy Simpson Reports:

Bruce and I were out last weekend to check in on Hurricane and Chessie after the juvenile female made its appearance last week.  We wanted to make sure that all was on track and had stabilized and we found the pair doing just fine.  As I arrived, Chessie was on the northeast corner of the nest ledge taking a break and Hurricane could not be seen but rather heard.  He also was watching Chessie as he was lying in the tray incubating.  Hurricane truly prefers the role of “sky defender” and “food master” to babysitter but will do whatever he is required of him by his lady to hatch those eggs.  Chessie flew off of the corner and around the eastern “H” which Hurricane could not resist.  Out he came to see her and the two sat on the sign for a few minutes together.  Chessie wasn’t long in heading back into the nest tray to resume incubating.  Hurricane remained on the “H” looking for scraps for a few minutes and then was off to the southeast corner of the nest ledge.  He sat there for quite some time and then was off to the west on a hunt.  Rob and Angie, two of our awesome west end volunteers, also popped by on the weekend and found the pair in fine form.  We look forward to seeing Hurricane and Chessie raising these youngsters this summer.
