It was back to work for me today, so it truly was a team effort today! I dropped in on Irma before work, as she took the first watch–here is her report:
Irma reports:
Driving west on Eglinton Ave I spotted Lilly where Cathy had left her the night before on the east side of the 411 building roof. Had a good view of her from the ICICI building parking lot so that’s where I set up in the hopes that she would fly home. Shortly after she made a short flight to the OFL building lower roof to the west, then up to the upper roof from there. Come home Lilly! Amazingly, like she heard and understood, at 8am she took flight! Behind 411 going east, she turned directly south and headed for home! Cheering her on, I got a few strange looks from the people parking their cars. LOL Lilly made a gorgeous arc but just missed the landing on the ICICI west-facing roof but she circled around and adjusted her approach and landed perfectly on the NW corner of the roof. LILLY IS HOME! At this time, Morgan and Horton were having fun chasing each other around both DeBeers and ICICI buildings. Morgan spotted Lilly and the reunion began as they beak kissed and even Horton landed just a little ways from Morgan. After the celebration and a little snooze, Morgan turtle-walking to Horton and off they went with another aerial show! After watching them for a while, Lilly decided to go back to the 411 lower roof where she really seems at home lately. Once Horton noticed Lilly over there, he headed for her and the pesky little brother just had to buzz her. Smart Lilly waited for Horton to land back at ICICI before she too headed for the same roof and landed beautifully on the same corner as she had before. Horton, of course, just had to buzz her again but this time he had Morgan screaming at him and batting at him in the air as she flew next to him. What a great big sister Morgan has become! After a disgusted look at Horton, Lilly moves over to the NE corner to put more distance from her and Horton and who can blame her. One more buzz by Horton and Lilly says enough, a girl needs her beauty sleep and off she goes to 411 south lower roof for her afternoon siesta. At 2pm that is where I left her knowing Lucie would be arriving for watch at any moment. A really fun watch seeing how well Lilly is flying!
Lucie took over from there–she reported lots of flying and trying to keep up was abit fun but everyone stayed up and that is what was important! She also said Dad drove off SIX turkey vultures who dared venture near ICICI building!!
I joined her later that evening to see Morgan & Horton way off on the blue glass building past Eglinton & Wynford. Horton then was off and around–catch me if you can!! And she did–got a few bumps in even lol!! Watch out Horton–soon there will be 2 sisters after you!! Sally & Irma joined us about then.

Hiya
I joined the watch for the last couple of hours with two on the blue condo bdg North east of the site - quite a distance! Flights like this are when you’re thankful to have the use of a scope! happily saw that Lilly is flying about although cautious with distance. Worried that she would try and stay o’night on the DeBeers bdg but she flew over to what may end up being her “bed” of choice - the 411 roof. Chester flew off south not long after I arrived and we didn’t see him again. Morgan settled on the ICICI roof and Horton flew off due west aiming for something (someone? Dad?) and Mom was hunkered down on Foresters “r”.
Hope Lilly does ok over the forecasted rainy windy weekend.
And what a nasty weekend we had!
