(Sage) CT All kids have fledged! It's a beautiful day for flying lessons and they are paying attention, and fly very well! One at BACK corner of rear arch flew to front, walked up and down arch, then flew to join another atop the back clock. Another was on a tower ledge, took off and flew with parent!
Afternoons are generally more quiet, nap times, but come out for a good show this evening! Pix coming...

Awesome news!  Thanks Sage!

First rule of the fledge watch.  When you lose a fledgling, keep watching the parents.  Look where they look.  If they know where she is, and they can reach her, they will care for her.

Also, as someone else said, a downed fledgling will stay quiet.

Hoping and praying they find her safe and sound tomorrow.   

"Just when we had had just about enough, she worked her Back almost reaching the nest box ledge, and them at 9:15pm she fell and was into the air! Quest immediately took flight to join her in the air as Luna flew eastbound across the face of the nest building. During her decent, Quest managed to get under her in flight and bumped and guided her from beneath slowing her decent and allowing her to gain a few critical feet upwards and they both landed on a window ledge on the west elevation of 240 Duncan Mill road, about half way up. While not a great landing, (kind of like using the back of the window ledge as a stopper), Luna clung to back wall upside down hooked on the face of the concrete wall with a single talon. Seconds later she finally freed herself and fell a few feet to the window ledge and righted herself. Quest was right beside her."

Daughter like mother.  Mariah did this with Isaura when she flew back to the Kodak Tower from across the river.  It was her first day of flying and she was exhausted.  Mariah stayed below her and gently "bumped" her from below, giving her the strength to make it back to the top of the Kodak Tower.  Something I will never forget.  Good job Quest!   

Thanks to Linda and all the other Fledge Watchers at the Sheraton in Toronto.  This is not an easy place to do a fledge watch.  So many very tall glass covered buildings.  I do wish I lived closer so I could help.  Be safe Felix, Gurdy and Welcome!   

Felix disappears
June 18, 2013 - Toronto - Sheraton Centre

Linda Woods Reports:

Yet another very quiet afternoon evening. Felix disappears and has not been seen. Very to no activity in the area and nest ledge  from both Rhea Mae and Tigao I guess Rhea Mae knows where he is and is tending to him.  Welcome and Gurdy were only feed once this evening at 9p.m. just in time to go to bed. After the food drop the adult went to sit on the letters on the Hotel and the two remaining juvies went out of view.

Many trips to the Club Lounge to scan the roof tops of near by buildings for the adults, which may have given us an indication of where Felix may have gone. Both Rhea Mae and Tiago remained elusive this afternoon and evening.

Hopefully Felix will make an appearance at daylight.

Dittoes.    I hope you find Kimani!   So Carina is safe in Donna's office?
