Sad news from CPF...

TORONTO/DON MILLS/OLD HARLEQUIN:
Absolutely heartbreaking news-on her second flight this morning, our beautiful Hope hit an unmerciful glass building and was killed instantly.  Bruce saw her first flight, which she kept height and landed on 240, second ledge from the top.  He missed her second one, but saw Quest and Mystery on the pink building at the back, looking down and went around to find her .  Quest flew low over her baby and away.  

Fly forever sweet one

So sad.  Fly Free Hope. 

Just want to pop in to thank those keeping up with the fledge watch. I went from insane at work to even more on my plate. My father was hospitalized in Florida yesterday and it's been a mad scramble since then. I will pop in when I can.

Hope your dad's ok Ei. 

Hope, with her ninja moves.

Here is the official report that goes with the photos:

Day 5 - SCARLET (red) and MILBURN (blue)

One fledge watcher reports: "Right now babies are on ledge. Milburn has been grooming himself getting off bits of fluff on wings and bum. No squawking. Just hanging out. Today's the day!!! I'm feeling it."

Earlier this week, fledge watchers reported an intruder at the nest. There was an altercation and ARIA was slightly injured. A hint of red can be seen on the right side of her head.

One fledge watcher reported on June 10: "Mom and dad both flew into the nest together just now 0820. I can confirm all 4 are ok!! One of the parents left food which Scarlet grabbed into the corner then now Milburn is sharing. Parents left food and didn't stay to feed. Scarlet is now sharing. Yay. It was a small meal and they appear to be done their snack. I was worried I had not seen mom but all good. Lots of squawking this morning so I waited around to see all ok."

Poor Aria. Be safe little family. 

Nice wings Geraki!
