As everyone awaits the fledge day for Echo, no one is more anxious than the parents Althena and Velcro. What great parents, watching them throughout this process has been so rewarding.  I hope to be able to continue to watch this process as each day brings something new!
Thank you Linda for your report and watching our Velcro and his family
And the wonderful pictures!

LAKERIDGE BANDING

May 27, 2024 - Oshawa - Lakeridge Hospital

Cathy Kerr Reports:
Lakeridge Health  banding :  It’s a boy for Velcro and Alfrieda! Grandson of Quest and Mystery, and extra special, Marion named Velcro
He is a healthy beautiful chick named Echo. The hospital named him.  Everyone enjoyed seeing him get his bling up in the mechanical room.
Mark Heaton got him out of the nest box and removed the 3 unhatched eggs, which will be sent out for testing.  Echo was nice and fiesty, just how we like them.
Thanks to Mark Heaton once again. And thank you to Andy and everyone at Lakeridge Health Hospital for their continued support.
Echo, male, 595g, X/70, red tape
Enjoy!

VELCRO HAS A HOME & A MATE!

LAKERIDGE HOSPITAL NEST:

Sally, Lucie and I decided to head out to the Lakeridge Hospital site to confirm the identity of the nesting pair. We are very excited to confirm that our boy Velcro has been confirmed as the resident male at this site!! And it’s been confirmed that he was here last year as well(thanks to Linda) !! We also confirmed (thank you Sally for that pic!!) that Alfrieda, 73/AW, 2012 hatch out of Buffalo NY is still the resident female (& since 2014!!).  They had 2 chicks last year(Grandkids of our Quest & Mystery) . We have no way, atm, of knowing if Velco was there before that. But he has a wonderful site and a good mate, great news!! And even better, as they have a wonderful camera there, we can follow them.  Here is the link :

Linda also reports that there has been a sub adult intruder. She has a sequence which I include in the pictures at the end.
Thanks to Linda, Scott and Sally for the pictures.

Oshawa Lakeridge Hospital

Marion Nash Reports:

Was out there this morning. Both juveniles have successfully fledged, found them on North side of Hospital between Stack and Nest Ledge. For sure, had the Adult Female. Possibly had the Adult Male too, but the Bird was at a distance.
