Marion Nash Reports:
I’ve been stopping off at Bloor/Islington for the past few days since I couldn’t see DART and TORNADO on the webcam. The two juvies tend to be under the camera where it’s a bit shadier. Yesterday, no matter how far I back I went I couldn’t see DART (blue tape). So marked the first day of fledge watch.
Doing a complete walk around the area, ledges and ground, I didn’t see anything, so I just waited. Six hours later (5:30 pm), there he was, a little blob perched on the ADP ledge. For the next three hours, I watched him exercise his wings, but that was it. Mom, D’ARCY, perched across on the Starlight building, while Dad, LUCKY, remained on the ledge with his little girl.
The most interesting part of the evening was watching D’ARCY and LUCKY encourage DART to fly. They circled around him while he was screaming at them. I don’t know when he was fed last. D’ARCY left to hunt and it was so cute watching LUCKY fly out to meet her and then they returned together while she fed TORNADO. D’ARCY took the rest of food and flew to Starlight and waited for DART to fly to her. She circled around him and tried again. That wasn’t going to happen, so D’ARCY eventually gave up and just took the food over to him and dropped it off.
She and LUCKY remained out of sight for the rest of the evening. DART finished his meal, did a flew flaps and that was it for the night. I left at 8:30.
We’ll see what Day 2 brings. Cheers, Lucie
