Lynda and Tim picked Joyce and I up at my house and we left at 8:05am for our trip to Toronto for the banding of Harlequin. Our first stop was the Burlington bridge where we saw both adults, Cirrus and MacKenzie and 1 juvie.
 
We stayed for about 40 minutes and...

Didn't get through all the album pics yet, but it looks wonderful!    Report great as usual.  
Love the first falcon pic!   Did you follow that truck all the way?  200 miles per hour?

What I forgot to say is thank you for taking all those pictures of the surrounding buildings and area.  It gives me a better idea of what lil Harlie will be flying into in two weeks!   It is almost as I picture in my mind - more suburban office park than "downtown" Toronto.  Safer I hope?  Thanks, MAK!

A most successful trip!  Thank you for all the pictures, they are great.
The narrative is great.  Everything is great.  Love the group picture.  It is nice to see
so many of you there.
Harlie and Quest are beautiful.  Were there pictures of Kendal?
Thanks for all.

I just had a thought of why Quest might not have been so aggressive. Maybe she thought they were coming for her to take the transmitter off.  :2funny:

When Quest was seen on Cape Cod, I remember reading that folks were shocked that she was calm during the many photos people took of her.  This might just be her personality.  It's not that she is enthralled with humans but she is familiar with them.

Yeah, that's what I thought, too.  Remember, Quest was handled twice.  IDK.
