...and she just flapped to the next ledge over!

Wish I'd brought my camera in today!

I'll try to point Camera 1 at her. Might need a bit more zoom though.  laugh

Ahhh, give it a shot Shaky!

Ok, I think I got it. Might need a bit less zoom though.

Harlequin figures out what her wings are for!

Working her wings!  Still a tuft of fluff on her tail, but the fluff is flying!

Look at her little mohawk!    gum

Thanks for getting her back in view!

It's almost overnight that little ball of fluff Harlie turned into a Pefa!    Long live the legacy!  Mariah,  Quest, and now Harlequin!   Fly strong, little one!   This is wonderful!

!!! Baby Harlequin is almost ready to take her first flights!
July 06, 2011 - Toronto - Don Mills
CPF Postmaster Reports:

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)

Loving all these pics of Harlequin.  Did we miss the "pantaloons" stage?  Has that come and gone and I missed it?     She is lovely.  I am enjoying seeing our Ms Harlequin getting ready to fledge.    It is going wayyyyyy toooo fast.

I heard this too, jeanne -- today on Lonsberry.   For some strange reason it made me want to go to the public market and try it.   French fries, gravy  (of what kind?)  and whey  (left over ....whatever?)
I did smile as I listened as I was getting ready to go to work!.....  Want to try it?  I've never had  it....

Margaret,  I am pretty sure I have seen it (trip to canada).  I'm not a gravy enthusiast but the girl on the radio (I was listening to Lonsberry) made it sound interesting!!!  Course I thought of Shaky immediately!

I don't think I would want to try poutine anywhere...New York, Paris, France, Quebec, Rochester, but it was funny after the posts here and then hearing our own dear Lonsberry here in Roc City.  The woman calling in from La Petite Poutine did sound sincere, so it caught my attention...but fries, cheese whey/curds and gravy....... in our health conscious  society  ?    Of which I am part!   But there is still a sick part of me that wants to try this dish?
 confused
Maybe the non -fledge watchers weekend  should be at La Petite Poutine?     Just asking.....?  since most of the Roc gals are in Toronto anyway?

Lonsberry is always lurking here and stealing my ideas.

Well, I don't think our webcam operator has arrived yet, but I've notified him that our Harlequin is now perched on the tiny overhang at the southeast corner of the building. She's hopped 7 ledges down from the scrape and is standing right on the edge flapping her wings intermittently. I believe this is the appropriate moment to use this smiley:
scared blue

Also, I'm a Canadian who has never eaten poutine and, even though I'm a vegetarian, I don't think I'd ever be tempted in that direction. Just sayin'. Wink

Oh my, she has traveled pretty far. Thank you Kat, I was wondering where that girl went. If you can, keep us posted.
