Toronto - Don Mills and Eglinton - Amexon

DON MILLS/AMEXON :  DAY 2

Bruce arrived to find Lerxst on the garage roof. I was there shortly after and we watched him there for 2 hours. He finally flew off and around to the north side of the nest building, 10th floor… Pretty darn good. But it got better. He didn’t stay long… He flew out over Eglinton and turned came back and made the roof! Way to go Lerxst!

He walked around to above the nest ledge to say hello to his siblings and harass Mom for food.  He eventually flew over next door to the rooftop!! So good.

Now, there are a lot of people who walk their dogs below the nest. And when one  came by, Mom and Dad started patrolling above.  Well, Lerxst decided to join in.  Absolutely not said Mom and she escorted him back but he did not want to go and tried to go south… No way said Mom. And she firmly deposited him on the rooftop. The dog had left by then lol.  And it was the heat of the day. Lerxst tried one more time to join Dad this time, but again was sent back to the rooftop. He finally gave up and had a rest.

Later, he made so many flights, it was amazing. Some were good, some not so good. But he recovered every time and landed on several different ledges. He finally stayed put on an eighth floor ledge and rested. Whew.

Bruce had left so missed most of it but Bob had joined me, so he enjoyed the show.

We were then joined by Ted. And Lerxst finally woke up and showed off his flying skills to Ted. He ended up after a few flights back above the nest ledge.  He was looking down at his siblings, wanting to join them.  So, he jumped very purposely off and with great control, flapped straight down to the ledge. Wow. Quite the feat, very impressive! And Ted got the whole sequence!! Thank you Ted. Bob left us then and a short time after Rob came. Ted then left to check out the kids at Don Mills site.

I should mention that Gideon and Peter had a very lazy day. They only perked up, and in Peter’s case showed up, when Lerxst joined them. It was a happy reunion.

Parents brought food and there we left the three siblings together for the night.

What a great day.
