Burlington Fledge Watch Scaled Back and All is Great!
June 12, 2013 - Burlington - Lift Bridge
Tracy Simpson Reports:
The Burlington Fledge Watch was official dialled down to spot checks this past Sunday June 9th and what a great adventure it was. Three rescues were performed by Bill and Barry over the 9 days of the watch; two for Hadfield and one for Sarah. Lancaster was the first to go and has been somewhat of a superstar earning the nickname “Rocket Man” for his efforts. Cirrus and MacKensie were quite outstanding in their assist flight escorts of the juveniles and put on an amazing show of parenthood. With this Watch now closed for the season, I wanted to thank everyone who made this such a success. I would like to offer up a big thank you to the Burlington Lift Bridge staff for all of your support in the rescues and releases. I would also like to thank Bill and Sue, Barry and Linda, David, Rob and Paul for your time and efforts as well as Sean for alerting us to Hadfield’s flight out of the beam to the roadway. Bill’s recent spot check of the foursome sounded like an awesome experience with Mom, Dad and three kids “ripping up the skies” and Sarah watching from a tower roof until it was her turn. Congratulations Burlington on a job well done!

Probably missed this in my absence... did someone say a falcon was named for Big Frank? Where is this? When? Any background appreciated.
Slainte.
Yes, Etobicoke where Frank was an avid watcher, rescuer extraordinaire. There were 4 chicks hatched and 1 was named Big Frank. Scroll down and read all about it!  |
