Polly & Algo are brother and sister and they produced a beautiful female Samantha. In the human world, not a good idea but in the animal, bird world, it's probably more common! Still, it kinda weirded me out also but pooh happens!!

Ivy, The Shady Lady, fledged for real this morning.  She took a nice flight around the top of the building.  One adult was right beside her.

Yay for real this time!!

Hold on to your hats...we think Will has been displaced. We caught a male bird in the box today with bands 36/R. This bird is the offspring of KathyQ and Kinney from 2012 and is named Sesenta - in honor of Kinney's 60th offspring. Yes, you read correctly. We know nothing more - whether Will is permanently displaced (or perhaps dead), whether Sesenta will hang around or just what will happen. And the bonding picture I posted yesterday was likely between KQ and Sesenta. This mother/son scenario has played out before. Falcon Crest has nothing on these guys. STAY TUNED.

Not UB but Statler news:

NYS Department of Environmental Conservation safely release one of the Statler City Peregrine Falcons back on our roof after she was found in front of the convention center sidewalk this week..

She has really not ventured far at all.  I consider her 'half-fledged.'  She has only been on the scrape level wherever there is shade.  I haven't seen a strong flight off the building yet. 

Oh! Hmm! Thanks

Just checking the cam and there she is with mom back on the roof!  Stay safe girl!

Rain made the deck worse and I can see the ribbon of caulk in that mess!!

B left!  djc

Sad news today at Harlequin. Rainbow Dash hit a window and died! Fly Free little girl! 

That's #7 since last week - Toronto no doubt retains the title of highest killer of birds due to glass buildings.  So many senseless, needless losses.  We brought them back from the brink so they could hit the glass and die 

Is it true that a lot of the building owners in Toronto don't want to use the Flap program? Too expensive, I guess. If they just did the upper half of the windows, it would  help greatly! This is so hard to swallow! I'm so sorry Carly! Just not fair!!

Little excitement, they must have seen mom or dad. Maybe one landed on TS, they seem to be looking up that way and Nor'e tried to get closer! He's something!!

All accounted for and the boys stayed on their corners all night!

Nor'e was the first to venture out!

Two of them decided to camp out.

The boys, Nor'e on the left and Mercury on the right!

I can hear her on cam, just can't see her. Cam is panning!!
