and no, it wasn't me that said M&K were from Canada. Since they were both unbanded, there is no way to know where they came from.
I think I have voiced my personal opinion that they were Canadian seeing the pattern their offspring have gone. Just an opinion-no possible way to know for sure. |

How are Quest  and Kendal doing in this nasty weather? They don't have a nest box with a roof.  |

It's an overcast day here in Toronto, but not raining continuously nor heavily at all. I was out wandering around in my sandals and a light hoodie and was neither cold nor got wet at all...it's more like a mist than a real rain. I've been in Montreal for that last few weeks, just getting to know the place, but hope to get up to see Quest and Kendal on the weekend! What a tenacious and interesting pair!! Anyway, if they are tucked under a bit, I'm sure they are perfectly warm and comfy! And someday it will really warm up and be sunny! I am waiting hopefully!!

Hard to say when hard incubation started, but I'd guess the very end of May. |

whatever are those 2 talking about???? Probably similar to Beauty and Archer... "It's my turn now!" "No, go away!" Fortunately, neither of them is sporting the drowned rat aesthetic!  I can't see it in the picture, but it looks like there are still ruffled feathers - is the transmitter still on? |

No updates on Quest? This thread is dying out. Let's keep it going!
Sorry meant to say, I know CPF is VERY busy with banding but doesn't anyone have a connection to the people at Harlequin?

I thought the same thing, Donna. I check into CPF several times a day. Nothing. I am hoping that Carol or Joyce or MAk or one of the team who visited Don Mills in April will update us soon. I may have to make a trip :-) We're not sure what happened to Seneca from 2008, and now we're losing updates on our Quest/2008. I am hoping. |

Just posted to CPF!!
Hard incubation continues! Its getting close!
May 23, 2011 - Toronto - Don Mills
Mark Nash Reports:
We have just received updated news from Bruce that both Quest and Kendal are still hard at work with incubation activities at the Don Mills nest site. Despite the fact that they are incubating only one egg, they are never the less still very much committed. Its getting close to a hatch date if the pair have been successful and we are all watching them very closely.
Based on the start of their full time incubation activities, it is expected that if all has gone well, we should expect to see a hatch at the end of this week. As such, monitoring will be stepped up in the following days as the week progresses.
We must remember that Quest and Kendal are a new pair, still inexperienced, and this nesting thing is very new to them as first timers. There have been some challenges and bumps along the way, in addition to MANY factors that can cause a failed nest site. We have already seen lower success rates at many of the other southern Ontario nest sites this year, (and from experienced proven productive pairs) that have many addled / unhatched eggs in the nests this season.
All of our fingers are crossed!!
Stay tuned………….
