Feeding Time at Canada Square

May 27, 2013 - Toronto - Canada Square Building - Yonge and Eglinton

CPF Volunteer Reports:
I was out at 4:50pm and there was no-one to see !  Right on time at 5:00 pm Stormin flew south on Yonge Street and across the intersection onto the nest ledge, north end. He had a large food parcel which he dumped on the ledge. In no time flat Haven had hopped over to him, taken possesion of the food and in a *loud voice* chupped her thanks to him.  Stormin was a tad perplexed and sort of shuffled his feet, ducked his head and flew to the Rio-Can south face across the road.
Haven stood in place for about a minute before tightly gripping the food in one foot, flying off the ledge, doing a fast turn and heading back to the ledge closer to where her chicks were. Again she paused before half flapping and dragging the food to her eyases, She disappeared from view and that was it for 20 minutes when she flew to Rio-Can and sat below Stormin.  He was sleeping and remained in that *Stormin slouch*.After roughly fifteen minutes Haven did a *recce flight* over the nest to check on the young ones and flew back to RC. She was only there for a minute before flying to the nest and disappearing from sight. I stayed for another half hour but there was no more movement from anyone. So I left.
