Cathy Kerr Reports:
DAY 2 FLEDGE WATCH DON MILLS/AMEXON: A good day! Though he made me wait to see him fly til the END of the day lol. Bruce opened the watch at 615am(!) and found Sam on the rooftop of 250! Way to go Sam! Then he saw several flights… Mom guided him from there to the top ledge of the nest building. He didn’t want to stay there and flew back to 250. When I arrived he was on the rooftop of 250, and there he stayed ALL day lol. Though to be fair, he spent about 2 hours facing a different direction each… Taking it all in I guess. Bruce left around 10am, Sally joined me around 215. We did have some excitement when an adult male peregrine decided, for some reason, to come by. Both parents were on him in a flash and drove him to hit the Goodlife sign on the parking garage, and drop, flying into the 4th floor of the parking garage and, as Sally and I found out(we checked every level to make sure he wasn’t injured there) out the other side, out of the parents angry reach. Whew. Then the parents had a nice bonding time, food included, on the Forrester sign(where they could watch Sam from). Mark and Marion came for the evening watch, and I headed home to feed the pets! Of course Sam flew over to the rooftop of the nest building while I was gone lol. He got packages delivered by both parents! I came back in time to see him fly back to the rooftop of 250! The other flight his landing was quite poor but this one wasn’t bad. He attempted later to fly back to 150 rooftop, missed, dropped a bit, recovered and flew back, trying for the rooftop of 250, but he’d lost just a bit of altitude and landed on the 2nd ledge, well touched feet first on the glass and dropped gently onto the ledge. And there we left him at the end of the night. Cooler temps tomorrow so hoping for more flights and landings!
