William Osler on Track and Due for a Hatch

May 10, 2013 - Etobicoke - William Osler

Tracy Simpson Reports:

I have been visitng Chessie and Hurricane this week often looking for signs of the first hatch and although the first little one hasn’t quite arrived yet, we are due for a hatch here at William Osler.  Hurricane has been his usual great self demonstrating his unique babysitting style once Chessie is out of eyesight.  He sat for a good 5 minutes on the edge of the nest tray on Wednesday glancing over his shoulder and visually checking on the kids while preening and stretching in between.  Chessie was stretching and preening on the southern “H” and when she flew back around to the east tower, Hurricane darted back into the tray like his tail was on fire!!  Yesterday he was on the eggs again when I arrived but this time he was not to be moved.  He sat on the three eggs diligently and every few minutes would wiggle down and adjust his position.  Bruce and I will be stopping by this morning to check whether the first chick has emerged.

So Close to a Hatch at Canada Square

May 10, 2013 - Toronto - Canada Square Building - Yonge and Eglinton

Tracy Simpson Reports:

This past week I have been down to visit Haven and Stormin at Canada Square in the hopes of catching sight of the first hatch.  While it hasn’t occurred quite yet we are so close!!  Yesterday Haven was on the three eggs napping away and was suddenly compelled to partially stand and reach for some rocks to pick.  She picked and shuffled and picked and shuffled until now she was off the eggs and in the corner nibbling on the wall.  This is the exact same behaviour that Marion and I witnessed Quest doing at Duncan Mill Road just hours before her first hatch.  She settled back down on the eggs but not before looking down at them and giving them a good talking to.  This could mean a hatch today and by Monday I will be in touch with Cameron from Northam Realty Advisors for news on whether the signal we received today was indeed correct and the first chick has arrived.  A big thank you to Cameron and Neil from Northam Realty Advisors Ltd. for being great hosts and watching over the pair.  Don’t touch that dial, we are moments away!!!
