Re: Quest (2008) and Mystery man - Toronto/Don Mills

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

Don Mills : I have been stopping by almost every day, so the pictures are from different days. But I am starting with this afternoon's pics as I observed an exchange!! Dad was in the nest box when I arrived. He came out after 10 minutes or so (its a warm day here), then preened. Quest came in after 15 minutes or so, they echupped (just love hearing them!!) and dad flew off. Quest then headed into the nest box, looked like she rolled a bit then settled in the nest box. Let's hope for successful hatches in just over a month from now 😊

Don Mills update : I stopped by on my way home Thursday to find Quest hanging out on a balcony, south side, of the copper building. It was a cold, very windy day. At first her back was to me but she turned shortly after (to show me her good side😉). Mystery was down on the eggs in the nest box. All good there❤️

From the CPF Facebook page:

DON MILLS UPDATE:  Great news!  We have a hatch...or two?  Congrats to Quest & Mystery!  I have been dropping by daily, waiting to catch a feeding and was rewarded tonight!!  Mystery brought a nice package for his growing family.  There was even a nice moment where they both looked at the kids!  Mystery was off and Quest got down to business and fed her brood.  She lovingly  talked to them the whole time, it was so sweet.  I will be watching to find out how many we have over the next week and of course, as they grow.  I added a couple of pics from the last few days as well.

DON MILLS UPDATE :
Hate this. It is with such heavy hearts that Sally and I have to tell you that we lost our beautiful Sydney . She was found alive on a glass balcony... We believe she hit the glass and fell in the balcony, could not get out due to a head injury. She was taken to TWC. X-rays showed no broken bones but she succumbed to her injuries hours later. She was a beauty, a big girl, and strong. She took her first flight June11th and unlike her brothers, she never needed rescuing. She got to fly, play with her brothers, and learn to hunt in her short life, so we can be glad for that. Soar high little one

One of Quest's 2017 offspring was just on the ledge in Hamilton!!  Sent the info to their admin!  Yikes!  There has also been a female unbanded intruder here.

Here's is a photo of Nemo's bands I grabbed while he was on the ledge just now and one of him so you can see him as a grown up!

So handsome! Wonder where he?s been these past years and hope he doesn?t cause problems at this site.
