Toronto – Don Mills – Harlequin sighting – July 6, 2011 – 11.15 am
Harlequin was very active on the webcam this morning, running back and forth along the nest ledge and stretching her wings. On each pass she seemed to get closer to the edge, looking over, and on one occasion I caught a flash of what might be Quest or Kendal’s wing, encouraging Harlequin to make the leap.
I was able to capture a few screen shots from the webcam, one of which was Harlequin jumping off the nest ledge onto the smaller ledge at the right. She has now jumped out of frame completely, and the webcam is showing an empty ledge.
It looked like more of a jump than a fledge, but Harlequin has expanded her horizons nonetheless.
Photos attached (apologies for the poor quality – I was making screen grabs from the webcam)
