Fly free, little one.   

Wow!  That poor little guy!  Thank goodness they helped!

"Confusion in some corners...Dot left-flew with Beauty-then went back to the nest box while Beauty went to Mercury. Beauty must have gone to get a cache to feed baby because she was right back & switched with Dot."

I think this is really what I saw and remember it was getting dark.

I was on the BSB.  Beauty flew in from the south, D.C. came out to meet her above the Mercury statue.  They flew together for a moment.  B landed on the base of Mercury.  D.C. went back to NB.  B must have grabbed a cache.  B then flies to the nest box with food, probably not realizing that D.C. had already fed the eyas.  D.C. flies out of the NB and lands on the base of Mercury.  This is where I left them with I went home.

I'd still like to know where B was.  Lisa and I looked everywhere and could not find her.  I remained on the BSB while Lisa went out to BS to check on Pigott, finding her on the vent on the south side of the building.  All was quiet there, except for the suspicious deer that was stalking Lisa.   

Must be Lisa's animal magnetism

Gosh she is beautiful!! So glad she is ok! 

Fly free young Douglas.  You felt the wind beneath your wings.
 

That's beautiful, Margaret!  Fly free little one

Be safe, Blaze! He's 

And healing thoughts, Frank!!!  Ouch

Too bad we can't fax Mark that pail of coffee!

Regatta left us tonight at approximately 4:45 pm.  She had a fatal collision with the glass tower trying to get home to the nest ledge.  She died on impact.  I'm so glad she had a few days to fly free and feel the wind under her wings, she was a beautiful girl.  I was inside the building when it happened but Frank and Angie saw it and described to me what happened.  I was able to go in and say goodbye to her and touch her.

O'Connor was devastated - she saw the collision and was screaming her head off and flew down to the lower rooftops and went back and forth yelling...just heartbreaking.  She did not attack when the body was removed from the roof either so that is pretty telling.  She and Jack both sat on the ledge in silence for a good hour and nary a peep was heard.  It's the first one she's ever lost and I truly believe she was grieving.

Tracy will be releasing Windward tonight and picking up Regatta. 

Fly free, precious little one   O'Connor, my heart breaks.  She knew

Oh dear little one 

!!! Sad news, little Cosmo has fatal collision
June 14, 2012 - Toronto - Sheraton Centre
Linda Woods Reports:

Sad news from the Sheraton nest site. Our youngest male, Cosmo who had taken his first flight today around 3:30, collided with a glass building on York street and died.  Bruce witnessed the flight and collision and quickly confirmed that it was Cosmo.

I met up with Bruce shortly after and we continued with watching the remaining three fledglings.  Journey who was placed back on the nest ledge was still there.  Marlee, who I identified by the yellow tape, was still on the upper portion of 120 Adelaide Street.

Fef, the other female was on the upper portion of 130 Adelaide with one of the adults.  Around 6p.m. Journey took flight. Bruce believes she went of the ledge and turned north of the Sheraton. And that was the last we saw of her for the evening. She could be on the north side of the Hotel. Bruce did a foot search and saw no indication of her.

Meanwhile,  Marlee was still on the upper portion of 120, while Fef remained on the upper portion of 130.  I went back to the nest ledge around 7:30, just to check that Journey had indeed flew off. Not expecting to see anything, there was Tiago cleaning prey!

Tiago flew off and took the food to Marlee on 120 Adelaide Street.  I moved my focus on Fef to see if she would get up from lying down on the upper level.  I looked back to Marlee and he was gone. Bruce saw Marlee take off and land on the north east area of the Adelaide Street Bell Building.  I did not see any movement or landing by Marlee. So now he is not seen. Back to watching Fef. She took off and flew horizontaly across the roof line south and circled back with wings flared, and did not see her come out from around the building. She could still be on the same structure but on the south side. A very difficult place to see a bird at that height. Just can’t get an angle on that area from Street level.

At the close of today’s watch around 9 :15p.m. Bruce and I had no further sightings of adults or juveniles.

I’m sure they’ll poke their heads up in the morning.



Oh little one, I am so sorry

Fly free beyond anything that can hurt you

You guys are too quick for me!!!

Oh my, thanks Carly, I never heard of that site but will follow it now. Poor babies, I know it's not Diana's fault, she's doing it because it's her way but then I think of Harrisburg and the new female there, is NOT harming the 2 juvies that have fledged. So much to learn about Falcon behavior, all different.

I agree!  Thanks so much, Carly.  These poor babies.  I'm so glad Madness was rescued and am so touched that she has been accepted by the new parents.

Madness, a young falcon, was put into "foster care" at another site when she was attacked by an intruding falcon at her birth site.

I think Captain Carrie and Narrator Shaky are much better than google maps!

Happy birthday, Carla!!!!!  Hope it has been a wonderful day!
