Update on Coco at Canada Square
June 17, 2021 - Toronto - Canada Square Building - Yonge and Eglinton
Marion Nash Reports:
Coco finally fledged. Yesterday late afternoon while Bruce was on watch at Canada Square Coco flew low over Duplex heading north and Bruce lost sight of her. When he went to take a look for her she was nowhere to be seen. Shortly after she managed to make her way back to the police station roof across from the nest building.
Mark and I arrived and she was still there running back and forth obviously not happy with her new spot, looking back at the nest and trying to get the courage to fly back home.
With this building roof only being one floor up and not much wind to assist her flight we expected she would end up coming to ground nope! She took flight about an hour later heading back to the nest building and although she did gain height it was not enough and she bumped the windows of the 5th floor of the nest building and landed on the mezzanine the same place her sister Ayala had landed on her first flight. Mark put on his safety boots, hard hat and orange vest and went over to the construction site below her to speak to the site night foreman and we worked out a plan and permission to access the site to rescue her if she came down there. By 9:00 PM she had settled down to sleep. We stayed watching her until dark and reluctantly headed home.
I got a text from Bruce early this morning and Coco was still in the same spot we left her safe and sound. I hope she makes a better flight today and gains more altitude. I will be joining Bruce this afternoon on the watch stay tuned for more pics and information tonight.
