Anything Else / Totally OT / Kittens found in Dumpster

A friend of mine received this in his email from his friend. He found 2 kittens in a dumpster, 1 had died and this one survived. His name is Oscar, (as in Oscar the grouch). He is 2 weeks old.  So cute. |

!! Things are Looking Up!
April 01, 2010 - Etobicoke - Sun Life Centre
Kathy Reports:
Mom has been sitting the nestbox or in the nestbox the past 4 mornings so things are looking positive here! This morning she is practically velcroed to the side of the box looking quite lethargic. I haven’t seen her do much flying the past 4 days other than to the condo tower or an alternate ledge when Jack comes in with food for her. Most telling is she hasn’t been on the web cam perching like she normally does. Jack was also here when I arrived.
Edit to add: 10:00 am - Mom is laying down the nestbox now. Jack has been by to drop off food and she did get up and eat but then returned immediately to the nestbox.
Edit to add: 1:50 pm - After an hour of observation on lunch - I witnessed an actual shift change. Jack had been dozing on the building ledge and mom was flat in the nestbox with only her tail or her head bobbing up once in awhile. Suddenly some vocalization on both parts and Jack flew to the nestbox, mom got out and flew over to another ledge to partake in some lunch. Jack replaced her in the nestbox and he was also laying down after a bit of shuffling! This a sign of incubation and usually means at least 3 eggs are in the nest - however as we have no camera access at this point, it’s only an assumption. Given the balmy temperatures today, there is no reason to have to keep the eggs warm should there only be one or two but I will keep observing over the next few days to firm up these observations given last weeks false alarm!
!!! EXCITING NEWS AT MOUNT SINAI
March 31, 2010 - Toronto - Mount Sinai Hospital
Jan Chudy Reports:
I have been frequently observing two adults at Mount Sinai over the past few weeks. Sometimes they were on the south ledges and somtimes on the east ledges. Earlier today, Linda Woods advised that she was observing one of the birds from a vantage point to the east of the hospital and that it appeared to be exhibiting incubation behaviour. Through the course of the morning, I watched the bird through my telescope in First Canadian Place. At approximately 12:15 the bird was on the edge of the ledge and I am 99% certain I could see an egg towards the back of the ledge - this is the maximumn distance for my scope. I checked the view several times and still believe we have an egg. As I submit this report at 3:10, an adult is back down on the egg and the second adult is sitting on the edge of the ledge two slots to the south.
!!! 1st Egg,?
Mississauga
April 01, 2010 -
Linda Woods Reports:
I’ve been watching the webcam for the past few days, and today there’s a change. Looks like MEC has their first egg of the 2010 nesting season. I haven’t seen a peregrine in the nest tray, but sure looks like an egg.

!!! Nesting Activity has Resumed!
March 30, 2010 - Etobicoke - Sun Life Centre
Kathy Reports:
Well after all the mysterious going-ons of last week, our pair seem to be back to trying to produce some eggs if they havent’ already! I just witnessed another mating session after mom flew out of the nestbox to her usual spot and Jack, who has been patrolling the perimeter, flew over to join her!
Since yesterday morning they have both been seen frequently in and out of the nestbox and/or mating on the condos. Food is being brought in to feed mom and she’s spending alot of time near or in the nestbox.
I’ll keep my eyes to the skies!
The Cycle Begins Again!
-
Sarah Washington Reports:
Well it looks like the Hamilton Nest is right on track
for this year. So much so that Madame X has decided to lay her first egg exactly 1 year from last years first egg.
We do hope to see a few more eggs in the next coming days.
!!! 4 EGGS At The Sheraton Toronto!
March 30, 2010 - Toronto - Sheraton Centre
Linda Woods Reports:
Tiago and Rhea Mae now have 4 Eggs. The image is difficult to see for most of the day, except for those early birds that are up before the crack of dawn. But, just by chance I clicked on the Toronto Sheraton Camera and finally , Luck, 4 eggs sitting in the tray. Now that’s enough Rhea Mae, start incubating!
!!! King St., incubating, I think
March 30, 2010 - Toronto - King Street
Linda Woods Reports:
This latest image, captured this evening shows the female just a the bottome of the camera image. Every year they put they eggs down , just out of camera view. I think with this image with can believe that they are in incubation. Just have to wait for the egg count.
