SPOT CHECK WILLIAM OSLER :
Scott reports that he sees the fledglings every day but cannot ID them as they are in the air or too far away. Except one day when the boy, Kai visited the staff lounge! He got a good pic that day!
Thanks for keeping an eye out for them and keeping us informed. And for your pictures.

WILLIAM OSLER/ ETOBICOKE GENERAL UPDATE :
It’s that time! On Thursday afternoon, I got an email while at work. They had a fledgling down! It was in a corner, no real way out. Thanks to Mala for letting me know and staying with her. I said I was on my way. But I remembered that Lucie was going to MEC, which was out that way. And got a hold of her as she was on her way. Of course she could rescue Rio(red-girl). Into a carrier she went, then into a nice cool, quiet room for a rest.
Lucie was off to MEC. I went over after work. Now, I waited until rush hour was mainly over, but it still took me over an hour to get there. Lucie was busy at MEC so she couldn’t join me. I checked her out, she looked good and Romeo (maintenance) took me up to release her on the roof.
I was at my car when I saw Dad fly in with food, landing on a H sign. Up popped Rio, who walked over to above dad and started screaming. Dad ignored her and ate! She was not happy, back and forth she went. Now I don’t know if she did this on purpose, but she flew /floated down and onto that sign!! Amazing. And she grabbed that food from dad and had a good feed. And there she stayed for the night. It was dark by now, so I left. I saw both parents by the nest but as it was dark, saw noone else. Lucie had seen 2 earlier.
Hope they are all doing well, no news is good news I say. We’ll try to get by to check on them.
I’ve included a few pictures but it was getting dark, so not the best but it gives you an idea.

And our 2nd banding May 20th was at Etobicoke General /William Osler. What a great banding! Scott and his family met us and took us up to the nest site. It was behind a door, which had a peep hole… Very cool. We could hear them. Thankfully they were alone and John scooped them out to Mark. And got the door closed as Mom was incoming! She screamed on the other side and her babies were just as vocal… Just how we like them.. Fiesty! John got his first taste of what we do while he is sitting out on the nest ledge… And he liked it lol. All 4 were banded(we do this site on the young side as, when even a few days older they are off the nest tray and can get away and down the ledge where we cannot get them). 3 girls and a tiny boy. Adorable. Then it was quickly and safely back into the nest tray before Mom could get us!
Names are coming…
Female, 685g, 38/AB, red tape
Female, 660g, 39/AB, green on yellow tape
Female, 640g, 40/AB, white tape
Male, 440g, C/53 blue (I told you, tiny but mighty.. VERY vocal and Fiesty)
Thanks to Scott for all the work he puts in for this family!
Safe fledge little ones!

Marion Nash Reports:
Alexander band number C over 43 from the William Osler Etobicoke General Hospital has hit a window on his fledgling flight today and passed away. Lucie picked him up so that he can be sent to Environment and Climate change Canada for use in their environmental toxin study. This site has had very few moralities of fledglings over the years and so far the other 3 fledglings are doing fine. Thanks to the hospital staff that found him and put him in a secure place, and to Scott Payne from the hospital who called us and gave us access to pick him up.
