She looks wonderful!   

She sure does!  Way to go, Sunshine!  Wonder how Cinnamon is doing? Hope just as well!

Sounds very good for S2! Thanks for posting, Donna! 

Thanks for posting, Ei!  Has there been any reason given as to why they're keeping NX caged for so long after she was found to be unhurt from the first release?  

It turns out she wasn't quite ready for release after all.  They said when they found her grounded she wasn't behaving like an angry juvie but more like a scared baby, cowering and even making "baby" squeek sounds.  They say it wasn't apparent with her siblings because they were all in a routine.  Once she was in the flight pen with a different eagle it was obvious she wasn't quite mature enough.  They think she would have been OK but better to be on the safe side. They think another week to 10 days will give her enough time.  Azalea the transmitter bird from 2009 was the same way-hung around the nest begging for food until mid-August.
 Then suddenly a light bulb went off for her & she was on her way.  She's still successfully going back & forth between VA & NC.

I remember that with Azalea.  Is NX the one who suffered a foot/leg injury and that's why she's behind?

Loved it!  Thanks for posting!

It's good to hear that he responded like they thought he might.    Good news for Cheyenne!

She looks so good!   

Putting that album together with all the narration was quite a chore but beautifully done!  What a great adventure for your 50th and what absolutely gorgeous scenery!  Thanks for sharing it with us! 

Happy birthday, Nora!    

Great news!   

So that was Cinnamon at the nest today!! 

They said Sunshine was seen there this past week so she could have been at the nest site today.

So...where is Bluffer's Park in relation to the Sheraton?

Couldn't resist checking...she's out visiting Aunt Linn in Scarborough!

And not far from Aunt Quest!

Oh my!

Sunshine 24X spotted at Bluffer’s Park!!

Tracy Simpson Reports:

We just received word from a friend of Big Frank’s that a juvenile peregrine with the band number 24 X and green tape was seen at Bluffer’s Park this past week feasting on a juvenile gull.  After some investigation, Frank and I identified the bird as Sunshine who was hatched at the Toronto Downtown Sheraton Hotel this past spring.  We will be making contact with the photographer to see if we can post the pictures taken on our website so please check back!!  Good going Sunshine!!
