Toronto - Don Mills and Eglinton - Amexon

Hey Cathy, just a summary of our shift on Sunday .. cheers, Lucie.

Richard and I arrived around 3:00 to relieve Irma.   Mac and Cooper were on the roof looking down on Zee who was still in the nest.   It wasn’t long until both boys jumped back into nest too!  Cooper looked content to remain there (maybe because his flight last night was accidental).  He didn’t seem to be in any rush whatsoever to leave.  Mac and Zee did a lot of beak kissing (I was watching through the scope and it was so gosh darn cute).  It was almost as though Mac was trying to convince her to fly.  He decided to take off and flew to ICICI and landed doing a beautiful little ‘j’.

We saw a parent drop off food for Mac on the ICICI building.  It was a whole bird and Mac looked like he didn’t know what to do with this.  With no one to help him, eventually he started plucking and it looks like he got it.

Mac was doing a lot of beautiful flying and towards the end of the evening, he even landed on the ’s’ on the DeBeers building.  He was on the top of the ’s’ and Chester was on the bottom.  He even tried to land on the ‘D’ (too slippery), but eventually settled on the second ‘e’, and that’s where we left him.
