Oh my they need some help fast!  I love baby robins! 

This is the picture with the fledge watch write up

This pic is soooo touching it brings tears to my eyes!

I hope they don't all spread their wings at the same time!  

PS

So this is before the slabs were removed??

Leave it to you Donna! You are a  !   

  Very cool! 

 

     DAMN! 

  What a character!  Thanks for sharing Jeanne! 

Balconies like you can climb out your window on to the balcony? Were there doors at one time? I guess it's a good thing because maybe they wouldn't pick that building if they were still attached. Sayin! Good info Carol, thanks!!

Yes Donna.  From what I was told, it led me to believe that people could go out onto the balconies.  There must have been a way to get out onto them.

Actually, they weren't balconies. There were decorative rectangular concrete slabs (70s concrete architecture...go figure!) attached to the protruding blocks you can currently see. About two years ago, one of those slabs on the opposite building (to the right) fell off! I was in the office when it happened and it felt like an earthquake! Luckily nobody was hurt, but there's a daycare in that building and it was all pretty frightening. The concrete slabs were removed quite some time ago and there are currently workers on the other building who are removing the protruding blocks and sanding everything flush with the ledges. Mark Nash was talking about this yesterday, because this same work is supposed to happen on Quest & Kendal's building (the concrete is eroding and has become a safety hazard), but because the building is now a protected habitat...well...should be interesting to see how things go. Hmm.

Thanks for setting the record straight Kat!

Not to change the subject -- but who -- of all of our Roc watchers, are heading to Toronto this weekend to watch our Harlequin fledge?  I am so envious of all of you.    I know you can't keep us posted by the minute  due to international roaming rates, but somehow, can you update the website?   I'm sure MAK, Joyce and Carol are heading to Toronto....anyone else?   
Take lots of good pictures, ladies!
       

Sorry to say I don't know of anyone going to Toronto this weekend. No word on going to Buffalo either. 

 

Pretty owl!   

!!! Lady Gaga looking good

Dennis Patrick Reports:

At 4 P.M. we took a bird into the Vet’s office so she could have something to eat. The lady on duty said that she would give it to Lady Gaga around 6 P.M. because of having surgery on her leg this morning. She was awake and looking at us when we saw her. She is being well taken care of so we left there feeling somwhat better than yesterday. It’s always sad to see such a wonderful creature in a cage rather than flying like she has been doing. We’re thankful that she is looking so good. Will keep you updated as time goes on.
