Brought tears to my eyes to see Miss Pigott again! 

 

After 74 days of incubation, the eggs were removed from the nest.

One of the fledglings has been rescued!

Tres is very cute-I hope he makes out ok. 

Cool! I never heard of these falcons before-thanks! 

Downtown Toronto is busy with thousands of people here for the Jazz Festival and World Pride celebrations. Oliver came down to street level on Thursday afternoon and was kept over night. The bird was examined by MNR and to confirm our suspicions, Oliver is really Olivia. Her bands were changed to larger female bands, her tape colour is the same.
Olivia was returned to the nest ledge at the Sheraton this evening by Mark Nash and myself. She is healthy and strong and ready to go. Just after the release, she sat, jumped onto the box camera flapped her wings and then jumped onto the ledge looking out. Food was delivered sometime after 8p.m. A second fledgling returned the ledge to join her. I think it's Buzz as he likes to overnight at home.

 

Thank you Syracuse for finding Pigott!

Amazing news! She left in March and now has baby ready to fledge! She found her own nest box.  Who is her mate?  Does she have one? She can't be on her own. Could Dot.ca be the father?

I wondered immediately if it was DCs' baby. It doesn't matter really-this is FANTASTIC! 

BEST news EVER!!!!! Good for you Pigott, good for you!!!!! 

Could not figure where I should post this, so I am putting it here.

I am in complete awe of the Watchers and their ability to ID the falcons - not to mention their tenacity! If I do not see a post from MAK by 6am ROC time, I start to get feverish.

Good going, Watchers! You should be very proud of all you do!!

Slainte!

 

Thanks Bobbie! Doing my best to keep that fever down! lol

Thanks NCA! I missed this as I was writing my report when it happened. 

 

 

I'm so very sorry for our Canadian friends who have lost so many little ones this year so far. Many of the fledglings I saw when they got banded and so I feel your pain. Heavy sigh...
