!!! Imagine Fledged Today
June 23, 2013 - Toronto - Canada Square Building - Yonge and Eglinton
Marion Nash Reports:
On arrival this morning Ranjet was on the SW corner of Canada Square
Tinia same place we left her last night
Imagine had obviously took her first flight before we got there and was on the black building between TVO and the Nest building but high.
9:27 Haven caught a pigeon, plucked it on the 4th floor of Canada Square then flew to Tania and gave it to her.
10:08 we had all three babies
Tania on the pigeon ledge 4th floor level of the black building
Imagine up on the Black building
Ramjet on sw corner ledge of Canada square who was fed a few minutes later.
By 11:00 AM it was getting very hot and all birds including the parents were feeling it and were seeking shade and became quiet.
4:51 Imagine popped up from the top of the roof to the retaining wall again from her shade spot for a few seconds and then back down, good she is still there playing peek a boo with us.
5:00 SEO C Collins from 53 division came out spoke to Marion about a bird reported by someone - down in the garden of the police station on Eglinton ave just around the corner from us. I went to look and it was Imagine she must have flown off the south end of the black building out of our site and did a circle around to the north lost altitude and bumped the station. When we got to her she was being watched over by S/Sgt M Hamilton-Greene to keep her from flying off into the traffic and he helped us catch her up then provided a box to transport her back to the nest. A very big thank you to our friends at 53 Division - E Platoon. Who allows us to sit outside on the garden wall on Duplex Ave to watch, lets use the bathrooms during the day and gives us place to come in and get cooled down when it’s blazing hot out there and now helps with rescues.
We took Imagine back to the 15 floor put her in a rescue carrier and gave lots of water to re-hydrate her, covered her carries with a towel and left her to rest up and cool down until release tonight.
5:30 Stormin circled over the bus bays over duplex ave and 53 Division looking for her Haven also did a couple circuits they had obviously seen Imagine’s flight even if we did not and were now looking for her.
6:37 Tania flew back to 4 flr ledge off the black building same level to Canada Square but missed the landing and fluttered down off the wall down low behind the old bus bays and we were off to the rescue again.
Lyn went down duplex, Marion packed her bag and set off to find Security who opened the gate into the bus bay area we searched, nothing?????
I heard calls high up on the Canada Square and it sounded like 2 babies? to our surprise and astonishmant we spotted Ramjet AND Tinia on the top roof of Canada Square.
Just as all this had started the wind had picked up and was blowing very hard with a few sprinkles of rain so she must have caught the wind like a kite and it took her up to her home another lucky bird!
8:09 Tania flew from roof Canada Square to RioCan almost to roof, brushed wall, recovered circled out and back to SW corner of RioCan where she landed on roof good flight.
8:43 Stormin flew to Canada Square roof with parcel, plucked it there circled the bus bays once more then flew up to Tania on RioCan and gave her the food.
Now we wait for dark to release Imagine. Mark Nash came to pick up Marion and helped her with the release all went very well and we found her brother was there on the balcony so we just opened the door and put her out with him and got out of there fast so we did not scare either one off.
We left at about 11:00 PM with all babies high and safe see you tomorrow.
Marion
