Tracy said, That is good news. By all rights that bird should not be alive. She had collided with the buildings at Mac several times and the last time she struck a building she hit it head on and full steam ahead. Bruce thought for sure she was done. After she hit the building though she immediately recovered from it midflight or should I say mid fall. She ended up landing somewhere decent and from that point on she proved us all wrong and became a superstar. Nice to hear she’s been seen.

Update on MEC Fledge watch .. with MIDNIGHT & RENEGADE.
Tuesday, June 9, didn’t start off well as I got a call from security early in the morning that they found a dead bird. Sadly, it was our juvenile female. I arrived in time to see the boy hanging out with a parent on a letter. He’s flying very well! Winston took a photo the night before showing him with mom and another one of her attacking a crow. I did see her on another occasion actually going after several crows and managed to get them to leave the area. I was hoping to see our boy fly, but he decided that wasn’t going to happen. It was wonderful to see him doing so well, but every time I looked over at the nest ledge, I teared up.
Today, June 11, I received an update from Winston and a couple of photos of Renegade with a rodent!
“Although tough to find, the MEC boy is doing great. The family is spending very little time at MEC these days preferring the open area south of Square One. I found him on the Morguard building last night before he flew off to the condo buildings near Burnhamthorpe and Duke of York where he did an excellent landing. He is still landing on large flat ledges and not tricky shapes but his landings are very slow and under control. His travels are always with an adult around. Sometimes he leads the way and sometimes he follows a parent but he is never alone.
Of note was that Renegade arrived with food, which he did not share, in the form of a rodent. This small amount of food was brought to the Morguard building and he was quickly joined by Midnight who began screaming at him; perhaps to say, “You’re a peregrine, have some respect for yourself!” She never got too close to take it from him so I doubt she found it too appetizing. Needless to say, it didn’t last long and everyone left for shelter as the storm was close.” Cheers, Lucie
Lucie was out on the watch at MEC yesterday when the male took his first flight.
He flew well but was loosing altitude so mom and dad took off after him and did their best to assist flying under him trying to bump and push him up.
Lucie seeing that he was coming down followed his flight direction across the street to MEC 2 but lost him as he got below the tree line out of her site.
Knowing approximately where he came down she started searching but no luck. Mark and I were at the Bloor and Islington nest site watching the unbanded 4 who were all still on the nest and safe so we headed out to MEC to help Lucy find him.
We searched all around MEC 2 and again no luck. We were later joined by Winston and we all searched once again, no luck.
Hopefully Lucie spots him today. He is able to fly so I expect he will got himself up to some altitude but just out of our site likely in a tree.
