Quest just spotted 3 km from Harlequin nest site on the NBC Universal Studios building with breakfast - I hung around for 10 minutes, hoping I'd see Luna or Carina - but again - NO luck!

Looks like Quest, Patty's sighting was over 40 minutes ago.

That's a lot of prey in the nest, no wonder nyc said it looked like a bird! Quest in there too!

Quest and Skye Working Things Out
August 08, 2013 - Toronto - Don Mills

Tracy Simpson Reports:

With so many of us still awaiting the status of Kendal’s condition, we have turned our attention to the Duncan Mill Road nest site to monitor Quest and her family.  Recently a young male, Skye from Etobicoke Sun Life, has been visiting with her and hanging about in the territory.  On Sunday, Bruce and I attended the site and were watching the pair interact and things have become much more friendly of late.  When we arrived, Skye was actually in the nest box and was working on scraping out a bowl while Quest watched from two doors down.  She sat on the ledge and occasionally stretched out to look in Skye’s direction.  There was no discomfort, just curiosity.  When Skye finally exited the box, he moved onto the ledge right beside it and Quest flew over to claim it as hers.  She let Skye know that she was very much in charge of things and he was alright to hang about for now.  It would seem that she has accepted his presence and the pair began to relax.  Quest spent much of her time in the box preening, sleeping and housekeeping and Skye stayed on the ledge beside the box doing much of the same.  All was calm, quiet and accepting.

We are unsure what the future will bring, or which male will rule the site, but we can say for sure that the nest site will remain active.  We will continue to keep you updated on the latest news regarding Kendal, Quest and Skye so check back soon.

Pictures will follow very shortly.

what about the girls are they gone?

No word on the girls for a few days now. They may be around but further out. I'll check it out.

what about the girls are they gone?

They believe Quest may have "parked" them further afield while checking out the intentions of Skye. They're also old enough now they don't need full time attention.

Pictures from Sunday of Quest and Skye

August 09, 2013 - Toronto - Don Mills

Tracy Simpson Reports:

As promised, some pictures of Quest and Skye taken on Sunday during our visit.

The first three are of Quest and the last three are of Skye.  Both birds were relaxed in the morning sun and comfortable with each others presence.  As you can see in the photos, Skye is sitting next to the nest box and he has been accepted being there.
