No One Home at William Osler Yesterday

August 13, 2013 - Etobicoke - William Osler

Tracy Simpson Reports:

I stopped in to check up on Hurricane, Chessie and the kids last night in the hopes of finding the family hanging around the nest building.  When I pulled in I checked all sides of the hospital, the nest ledge and tray, the hydro towers and the rooftop antennas but no one was to be seen. 

Since the young have fledged, they have started to follow the parents on their hunting forays out to the west.  We have had reports and seen Hurricane over at the Humber College campus and that is most likely where they all are.  In the past few weeks, I have had only one opportunity to have the whole family at home just the once and I was able to get a picture of all three of the kids, Aura, Blizzard and Maverick, on the west ledge of the hospital watching the parents over at Humber College.  They are all doing fantastic and I was so pleased to see them all together one last time before migration and dispersal sets in.

While I was hoping to find the family in it was still a nice evening at the William Osler site.  It has been great news of late finding Ossie, hatched here last year, over at the Mississauga North site trying to establish a territory of his own.  I look forward to watching the parents throughout the fall and wish the kids well on their journey. 

A huge thank you to all of the watchers that helped out at William Osler this year especially Bruce and Winston.  I’m already excited about 2014!!!
