Cathy Kerr Reports:
I arrived to find MacGyver had flown back to the nest bldg, down one floor. Soon after Mom came over with breakfast-they had a lovely talk and then Mom left to let him eat! He then lay down for a nap-something he does very well lol. He stayed there til almost 3pm !! Lucie and Bruce had joined me earlier, so I left for a bit of a break. They reported shortly before 3 he flew off and over to the rooftop of ICICI-he missed the ledge and landed on the roof. He popped up on the other side! I arrived back just as he had flown back to the DeBeers rooftop!! Wow! Not great landings but keeping that altitude!! Irma then joined us and Bruce went home. It wasn’t long til he flew back to the ICICI rooftop. We observed the parents flying around him, over and around–wasn’t sure what that was about, until we heard the thunder. Big drops started down as we ran for cover-we were very fortunate to have access to the DeBeers bldg and sat at the window at the back where we could see the ICICI bldg and watch MacGyver throughout the storm and boy did it storm. Mom had landed on the rooftop with MacGyver and Dad was on the ledge below him. He was on the very corner-Mom & Dad had been trying to get him safe. But, as most kids do, he didn’t listen very well. He stood facing out and it was pouring and oh so windy!! Mom must’ve said something, as he went to turn to her and was blown over-down onto the rooftop!! Lucky bird! He did pop back up shortly after but now he hunkered down, just as his Mom was doing. And that is how he stayed for the rest of the storm. All good. After shaking the water off, Mom flew over to the upper level. Dad had already flown off. So then MacGyver had a bit of fun flying back and forth, trying to land by Mom. A few bats, a few misses and he made it!! Ran screaming for Mom and off she flew over to the Sony sign lol. So there he settled, high and dry, for the night! All and all, a very good day!!
I am attaching a few pics that Lucie got today!
