Brampton - Courthouse

Sally, Bob, Mark and Marion and I fledge watched him… His first flight found him landing on a hydro pole, in wires, on a blistering hot day. We waited anxiously and he finally took off low, and Mark rescued him.  Obviously, he was released successfully and now has a wonderful mate and the cutest son!!

I asked Lucie and Winston to try and get an ID as soon as Toivo let me know that the male was banded. Winston got a partial, and we suspected Nico but we needed positive ID. And Lucie got it!!  Thanks guys for this wonderful news.

I’ve dug up some of Nico’s fledge watch pics but the best one is Lucie’s… Our boy all grown up.  Sorry if this is a bit sappy, but we put so much into our fledge watches and CPF, and it’s for moments like this, that make it all worth while.
