A new update on Spirit from Fritz Fritschi:

I had the opportunity to participate in the distribution of her meal during my trip to Chouette à Voir on September 15. She was perched in her private flight enclosure and she attacked her daily meal, which consisted of chickens. She looks very much in shape and has a good appetite, since there was nothing left of her meal from the day before. I had the opportunity to see her again on September 26, during another visit. Still with a voracious appetite. On Sunday, October 8, the same thing. One would very much like to see the staff introduce her into the large flight enclosure, in order to provide her with all the space necessary to properly assess her recovery. I believe that the future is promising. This particular Spirit has very much earned her name. An avian example of resilience if there ever was one.

WOW, the will to survive! Thanks

Grrr construction! Glad they took a break so the birds can bond!! 

[Archimedes, and had fledged fron the Harlequin Building]

Quest's baby !!! Archimedes 41/Y!  Was caught at the Tommy Thompson Park banding station today!!

Tommy Thompson Park .
1 hr · Innisfil

Today's winds hampered our banding success.
Many raptors were being pushed by very fast.
We did manage to trap 2 Peregrine falcons today, despite the adverse conditions.
The first was an adult female, already banded with a Federal band. It was banded last June, somewhere in Ontario. We are waiting on exact location from the banding office.

The second was a young male that also was banded and had a colour band as well. A few texts later we determined the bird is called Archimedes, and had fledged fron the Harlequin Building this summer.
It is always fantastic catching these city birds, as we can add a little more information to the distribution and movement from city to city.

What a handsome lil fella and glad he's doing well so far!
