The news just reported that their house burned down.  They were not at home

I just texted Carla to let her know that everyone is sending her good thoughts and offers of help.  The Bricks for Chicks Team visited with Carla when she was the highest bidder on the print that our very own Dale P. drew.  Her home was very beautiful.  Makes me very sad to think that it's gone.     But very thankful that no one was home.

Looks like all 3 juvies are on the ledge! 

Nice!

Love it!   

One needs to make their own luck.

Series of events:

Went to UB on Sat - > met Roch Peepers -> Told of Banding -> went to CT -> met Sage/Roger -> introduced to DEC by Sage -> Sage told me that "they" were letting people up -> Went in -> No one there (they went up 10 mins earlier) -> Took a chance on a stairwell I found -> Ran up 6 flights in a dark and extremely dusty stairwell -> Stopped to hack and cough -> ran up a flight -> thought I was going to die (thought of not being found as my heart was pumping and coughing) -> ran up 2 more flights (more thoughts of death) -> listened for voices (had no idea what floor it was on) - nothing -> walked then ran up more flights -> heard a sound above me -> more flights -> then saw the group as I peeked around a corner -> Assisted when asked.   

See I made my own luck.   

A new Watcher is born!   

Fly Free Brisk.   

We were all watching this at MAK'S tonight. Had PC outside. Thought B and DC were going to get into a fight over that food. OMG, that was crazy stuff. Poor little one was just covered in red. DC tried so hard to fill the little ones crop. Kind of sad to watch but baby got a meal---FINALLY!! PHEW!!!

This is definitely different behavour than we're used to seeing.  Dot.ca seems to want to be the one to feed the eyas and Beauty is standing her ground and trying to get the food from DC to feed the eyas herself.  Usually, at this age, we've seen the females do most of the feedings.

This baby needs a bib!

Solar Has a Big Day
June 22, 2012 - Toronto - Canada Square Building - Yonge and Eglinton

Marion says Solar just flew/ran into the dark. Marion in full pursuit, stopped a bus in its tracks and then she carried on following this headstrong little peregrine who was now heading to the entrance to subway area. When Marion arrived about fifteen people were converging on the falcon and Marion, now totally ticked off with the peregrine and perhaps the people, yelled for no-one to touch the bird and to back away. When her authority was questioned Marion went into high gear and showed what her authority was. Pint sized little Marion was like a peregrine mom protecting her young!!!

Observation for Toronto - Canada Square Building - Yonge and Eglinton

  If you've ever met her, you know just how true this is!

Oh yeah!  Marion is a force to be reckoned with! 

Welcome Carl!  It was really nice meeting you yesterday and UB.   

 

I was out this evening at the yellow page building to do my first fledge watch on Linh and Reuben's kids. it was an amazing experience. it was very comfortable and even windy/cold, it helps the babies and parents a little bit, all of them were in view and in good shape.
Mark and Tracy were very kind to allowed us to see the release of Albus (who was rescued earlier in the day) back onto the ledge.

Good job WW!  Thanks so much for keeping an eye on Linn and Reuben's young ones!   

OK, let's all study the egg again.  Hmmmm.      

"Confusion in some corners...Dot left-flew with Beauty-then went back to the nest box while Beauty went to Mercury. Beauty must have gone to get a cache to feed baby because she was right back & switched with Dot."

I think this is really what I saw and remember it was getting dark.

I was on the BSB.  Beauty flew in from the south, D.C. came out to meet her above the Mercury statue.  They flew together for a moment.  B landed on the base of Mercury.  D.C. went back to NB.  B must have grabbed a cache.  B then flies to the nest box with food, probably not realizing that D.C. had already fed the eyas.  D.C. flies out of the NB and lands on the base of Mercury.  This is where I left them with I went home.

I'd still like to know where B was.  Lisa and I looked everywhere and could not find her.  I remained on the BSB while Lisa went out to BS to check on Pigott, finding her on the vent on the south side of the building.  All was quiet there, except for the suspicious deer that was stalking Lisa.   

Dor.ca left eyas and nestbox.

That is a truly awesome picture of Dot.ca.  Thanks for posting it Annette!
