Quest and Kendal - Toronto/Don Mills

[jeanne]

Shaky, I was listening to the radio and there is a poutine vender at the public market! Yes, I know this is off topic!

Lonsberry is always lurking here and stealing my ideas.

  and he does like watching the falcons!!!

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:


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'.

Kat, I share your

Yep! She seems to be testing her wings quite a lot this morning. She kind of stretches them out to feel the wind underneath them. And much flapping! We're supposed to have our fledge watch training at noon today. Hope it's not too late!!

Camera moved!

PS...the ledge looks deceptively lower than it is!

OMG, Kat!!  I was watching the camera and there was a Staples truck near her.  at one point, she was "above" the easy button on the truck!  May it be easy for her and for all of you!  folks who park in that parking lot may need to be on watch also.  I'm so glad your training is today!

Yes, the parking lot is disturbing. I'm hoping she decides to fly from the front of the building, like Quest and Kendal tend to do. But then, there's the street! Ugh. Looks like she's currently trying to hide from the camera again!

If she is like her mother, ahem, it will be interesting!  I'm hoping if she decides to fly in the direction of the parking lot, it will be when folks are in.  Also, not to be an alarmist, but someone once drove off with a peregrine baby on the car and didn't stop so folks need to be aware and watching

Sounds like training is just in time.  I only hope that little Harlequin's first flight goes well!

Ooh. Will have to get you guys to fill me in on Quest's first experiences! Although, she was carrying a bit of extra baggage! And...ack...a couple of us were just joking she might wind up on a UPS truck and we'd have to keep checking her tracking number. Eeeps!

What part of the ledge is she on?

[kat]

What part of the ledge is she on?

Currently she's sitting JUST out of camera range on the part that sticks out to the left of the camera.

Off to fledge watch training in 20 mins! Yay!

Good luck Kat and thank you!

Also...she's squawking up a storm today. I'm going to order a peregrine falcon alarm for my car!

Kat, we have a auto shop down the road and plays the peregrine falcon call all day through a speaker system. It's to scare away the pigeons that roost on the roof. I hear it so much that I don't hear it anymore!

[jeanne]

I love that sound
