Not Sleepy!

Must be because he is excited to get a name

Fledge Watch Begins at the new Don Mills Nest Site!!
July 11, 2012 - International, National and Local News
Kathy Smith Reports:

I arrive 5:50am and Randy (neighbourhood volunteer) was already there. He had spotted one baby on the 5th floor window ledge of the ICICI building and the other was nowhere to be seen. The female was south on the apartments screaming away so I patrolled the grounds around both complexes with no site of Ben ( blue tape ). While watching Len ( yellow tape )  Irma and her husband Dick had joined us. We look up and there’s the lil brat Ben on the chimney of apartments!!

By 8 am Ben on the chimney gets food and by 8:30 am, Len who had been hanging out on the 5th floor window comes down to the but not before circling both buildings. I take Len in to security and we place him in a rescue carrier and lock him in the security room. By the afternoon, the parents, both confirmed as unbanded adults, are now flying by Ben on the chimney with food.  Ben was content to stay on the chimney and scream but refused to fly for it.  No takers!!

  Bruce arrives and shortly after the adults buzz Ben several times in a effort to get him off of the chimney.  There was work being conducted on the roof area of the apartment building so I obtained the managers phone number just in case.  Bruce went over and was able to catch a couple of workers coming down for a break and gave them the heads up or should I say “HEADS UPâ€�; a little friendly warning in case baby come down to roof level and the parents came over to protect him. 

I left the Watch with Ben on the chimney being watched by Bruce, Randy and the parents and Len safely tucked away in a rescue carrier.  Bruce will do the release tonigh and hopefully Len will have learned to stay high!!  A big thank you to security and building management of ICICI, the nest building, for helping out Len once again!!

Sweet baby!!

Skygirlblue, a few years ago, posted this beautiful video of the Ohio falcons.  It was to "The Prayer."  It was so touching ("And watch us where we go... help us to be wise in times when we don't know...lead us to a place, guide us with your grace, to a place where we'll be safe").

What a story!

Connie agrees the UB fledges should still be doing well and starting to go beyond OUR comfort zone. . And the CT baby also should be okay down there.  I remember seeing Quest's baby, first year, on the ledge and I was going nuts, but it got back in the box.  . Wait til the Rochester baby jumps out!!!   

And the Rochester falcon watchers will be jumping too!!!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!  They are so cute!  Thank you so much, Colleen!

These pictures are just fabulous!!!!

Thanks so much, Shaky!!!  There were fireworks at the red wings' game too so there were a lot of fireworks in the area!! 

I'm so sorry, Carly    Fly free dear little one

According to this page, Chrome is now the most popular browser. Firefox is a close 2nd. Internet Explorer, once the most popular browser by far, is now a distant 3rd. Safari is still on the fringes despite being the default browser for millions of iPhones and iPads.

The biggest surprise is Opera with 2 out of every 100 people using it. I'm surprised it's that high. Does anyone here use it?

I have opera on my phone.  However the only arias are fraught with frustration from this technologically challenged person

Oh sweet baby

  Dear little one, we mourn your passing along with the other little ones we so cherish

The news just reported that their house burned down.  They were not at home

I just texted Carla to let her know that everyone is sending her good thoughts and offers of help.  The Bricks for Chicks Team visited with Carla when she was the highest bidder on the print that our very own Dale P. drew.  Her home was very beautiful.  Makes me very sad to think that it's gone.     But very thankful that no one was home.

Thanks, Carol!  didn't have her number!  This is so tragic.  Fortunately she was not there but they may have lost some pets.

I sent a note to John Carlos through facebook and asked if we could do anything.  Haven't heard back yet.
