If I Were A Betting Woman,
April 27, 2014 - Burlington - Lift Bridge
Sue McCreadie Reports:
I would bet that we have a hatch at the Lift Bridge. Cirrus was very active in the nest box this afternoon. Up and down, up and down, and at times, her tail was hanging over the edge of the box. This is the first day that we have actually been able to see her in the box.
Mackenzie is up to his old tricks of hunting the pigeon holes when the bridge is open for a full lift. It is so amazing to watch him at this. He looks and looks into the various holes until he finds one that looks promising. Then it is a dive in to see what he can bring out. Unfortunately, Bill lost sight of him and we don’t know if he was successful.
This afternoon we found Mackenzie hanging out in the Hamilton Hydro Tower. He was very alert and watching all that was going on around him. All of a sudden, like a shot he left the tower and the next thing we know he was attacking a poor Gull that I guess, just got a little too close. The Gull screamed and made an abrupt turn and was out of there. Mackenzie made a quick check of the nest box and then landed n the front face of the Hamilton Tower. All was quite when we left.
If there is a hatch, now we wait to see how man little white heads will appear.
