June 15th Rogers Center Fledgling.
June 16, 2023 - Toronto - Rogers Centre
Marion Nash Reports:
We got a call from Toronto Wildlife and just after the banding at Bloor Islington Place Tracy Simpson our raptor center manager informed us they have one of the Rogers Center Peregrine Fledglings that has been in rehab for 3 days and is ready to go. We contacted Lucie who was happy to go and pick up the fledgling from TWC and take it ti Mark Heaton to have it banded. We also contacted Glenn from Environment and Climate change Canada who went to Marks home as well and did a small blood sample for their study on environmental toxins. It turns out to be a female at 815 grams and about 45 days old. Her band number is 31 over AB and she has red tape on her silver band her name is Ruby. Mark Nash spent much of the morning trying to contact The Rogers Center but the numbers and contact people we had on file were no longer in service and no longer working at Rogers Center. It took a while but we did find new contacts who were happy to help and Ruby will be released by Mark Nash and Lucie tonight as soon as it gets dark. Another successful rescue and banding and hopefully release. more on her release tomorrow.
