!!! Sad news today

June 19, 2014 - Kitchener - CTV-Bell Media Tower

Lisa Reh Reports:

June 19, 2014

It is with deep regret and heavy hearts that the fledge watch team reported today that Soleil had a tragic and fatal accident this morning. Janice reported seeing Soleil and Merry on the 5th floor roof on the Park Street corner at 8:15. Soleil was very anxious to get moving with lots of head bobbing and wing flapping. She “hopped-flew” along the edge of the roof to the King Street corner. Pippin was also seen doing a few circles around the rooftop. Just before 9:00 a.m. one of our tower watchers contacted Tony that another fledgling had hit the window. It was Soleil, our largest fledgling at banding (yellow tape). Perhaps she was trying to help Merry back up the top of the roof. Rest in peace, little sister.
