FLEDGE WATCH DAY 4-NOT A GOOD DAY

Cathy Kerr Reports:
DON MILLS/AMEXON FLEDGE WATCH DAY 4:
This is a combination of reports from Sally and me:
I arrived to find Flynn on the garage-one floor down. Darn. Noticed no crop.  Not fed.  Double darn.  What the heck is going on?  Previous female, Jenna, would have fed her the second she saw her on the roof!!  The behaviour from the resident female Milli, has been puzzling at best.  She had been doing fine, from what I saw , up until fledge time.  Anyways.  Flynn. She made a very poor flight and ended up on the second level of the garage.  She hung out with the locals for a bit, checked out the scenery and then flew into the garage!  Oh for heavens sake lol.  Now I had to leave for an appointment, Mark was on his way.  I was just about to pack up when out she flew around 150 and landed 4 floors up.  Now, I thought that wasn’t bad, considering the oppressive heat and the fact that she had not been fed in now 4 days.  But she still was not fed by her mother.  I had to go….

Mark took over the watch, joined by Bruce little later. Security spotted Flynn on the ground and notified Cathy and Mark, who captured her, into the carrier for another roof release and confirmed she was pretty bony and had not been fed in quite some time. She was quite dehydrated. I joined Cathy and Mark for the afternoon to close and and before being released she was fed some food, which she eagerly accepted without coaxing, that’s how hungry she was.
Mark and Cathy took Flynn up to the nest roof and I stayed on the ground to watch out for Flynn popping up. The alarm calling from the parents didn’t surprise us, but when she called out to her parents, Milli was not welcoming.  This female just hasn’t seemed very attentive. Honestly, it’s been a strange watch. By the time Chester flew over to check Flynn out it was  dark, so we are really hoping he brings some food to her tomorrow morning.
We closed the watch with a Milli in the nest ledge, Chester across and up on the Intel sign, and Flynn on the roof, visible above the nest. No sign of Logan.
Please let tomorrow be a better day.
