Tracy Simpson Reports:
With our two remaining kids flying high and flying well, today was more of a pop in and watch day for all of us as the physical and emotional effort has taken its toll. Kathy started in the morning watching the kids as they really showed they’re getting it all worked out. Nice flights were seen along with much better landings by both Skyla and Sunni. After about 3 or 4 hours, Kathy went home for a much deserved rest after putting in such an amazing effort. Rob and Angie were up next and spent several hours watching the young ones. Back and forth. Building to building. They just kept getting better with every flight they took. They also were able to share in the pleasure of watching Jack hunting starlings in the area and putting on quite a flight show for them. After such a long and tough week, its nice to finally be able to watch the family thrive and enjoy themselves for a change!
Given the amazing flights that Rob, Angie and Kathy were all witnessing, I decided that I would follow suit. I came down for a few hours in the evening and was treated to much of the same. O’Connor was on the top of the west tower, Skyla was nearby Sunni was roosting atop the centre tower. Jack came in with food early on and stayed with his mate for almost 40 minutes before taking off to the north. I left around 8pm with the family all relaxing in the evening sun.
Today officially closes the watch for us here at Islington and Bloor at the Etobicoke Sun Life centre. We could not have done this watch without key volunteers, the community, the building management and security all working together to make this a success. It is with my most sincere gratitude that I would like to thank Kathy (our rock), Rob and Angie (our other rocks), Jim (amazing rock), and Baylie (our dearest rock). I would also like to thank Jim and Lynda from Wild Birds Unlimited for answering the alarm call and coming right away, Stacey for joining us in support of the site and Bob for your moral support, assistance with the birds and saving my bag of chips for me. I would also like to thank Tom and David from Paragon Security for helping us all and the CBRE Management Group for being fantastic and understanding hosts.
We did it everybody! Now go take a nap.
