Happy Birthday Wendy!

                                 

Pretty astonishing bit of information in this video.

I've searched everywhere Alison and no sign of her.  September 29th is the last time I saw or heard her. Then it was quiet for a week, no sign of anyone save for workmen on all the towers and then suddenly Aria showed up on the ledge starting October 5th with Lucky.  

The only place I don't have access to is the rooftops of the three towers but given there are workmen on them pretty much daily the past month - I would like to think they'd have notified me or CPF if a body had been found.   I also have a friend that volunteers at Toronto Wildlife and she hasn't been brought in injured.


The condo tenants also keep an eye out, they would have said something if there was any sort of battle or disturbance as they have done so in the past.  Not to mention two watchers live in the towers.  Whatever happened must have happened off site - meaning away from our buildings.  

Or maybe O'Connor left the area on her own to look for a quieter place with no humans disturbing her world. 

 

Yay! Thanks for the update Alison! 

True love! 

I was just about to post! Somebody remains there now.  It has been terribly windy and rainy here during the night and this morning, and I'm assuming the wind reached Etobicoke as well.  I'm so glad to see Aria and Lucky now!

Yes it has been a wild day with the winds and rain.  Aria was riding the thermals again this morning and chatting away to Lucky all the while. 

She seems to be a little chatter box! lol  

Thanks a bunch Alison. Bobbin was my favorite after Beauty of course! 

  Maybe they should replace that nest box with a bigger one with clean substrate.  

Very sad news from this site. We lost the second little chick today.   

I noticed last night that while being fed, the chick appeared to be in some respiratory distress. He/she was able to eat, but with some difficulty. Today, the chick was no longer moving.

As with the first chick, I think that the probable cause was either Trichomoniasis or a toxin of some kind. With both chicks, the situation worsened quickly. I have seen no comments from Melbourne on the loss of either chick. Do they have no concern for what has been happening at their own website?

 

Looks like Aria is a noisy one when carrying food! 

She likes to 'announce herself' 

Exactly!

  This is quite a development! I sure hope O'Connor is okay and yay for Aria. Our local falcon watcher Jeanne, named her. Thanks for the update Carly!  

hi MAK    

She looks very similar to her big sister Cadence and mom Beauty and she flies like DC.  We'll have to keep an eye on our other sites for O'Connor.

She's another Beautyful one!!! 

  A belated Happy Birthday to you, MAK!  

Thank you Pat!
