Balconies like you can climb out your window on to the balcony? Were there doors at one time? I guess it's a good thing because maybe they wouldn't pick that building if they were still attached. Sayin! Good info Carol, thanks!!

Yes Donna.  From what I was told, it led me to believe that people could go out onto the balconies.  There must have been a way to get out onto them.

Actually, they weren't balconies. There were decorative rectangular concrete slabs (70s concrete architecture...go figure!) attached to the protruding blocks you can currently see. About two years ago, one of those slabs on the opposite building (to the right) fell off! I was in the office when it happened and it felt like an earthquake! Luckily nobody was hurt, but there's a daycare in that building and it was all pretty frightening. The concrete slabs were removed quite some time ago and there are currently workers on the other building who are removing the protruding blocks and sanding everything flush with the ledges. Mark Nash was talking about this yesterday, because this same work is supposed to happen on Quest & Kendal's building (the concrete is eroding and has become a safety hazard), but because the building is now a protected habitat...well...should be interesting to see how things go. Hmm.

Thanks for setting the record straight Kat!  wave

!!! Start of Fledge Watch
July 08, 2011 - Toronto - Don Mills
Marion Nash Reports:

At the watch this morning from 9am to 2;30. Bruce took over
From 9:30 to 10:00 all 3 were on the building across from Harlequin.
Female calling for Kendall to get food
At 10am he took off and shortly after he sat in his normal corner by Donna`s office and prepared the bird for Harlie
Took it in to the nest box, and left and not seen again
harlie played with the food, pouncing on it, flapping the wings, going up and down the ledge. Finally settled down for a rest
Quest on building most of the day, every time Harlie went up to her she left.

After his nap he found Quest again and had a Harlequin moment. Oh so sweet.
Then took off to the end of the ledge at theother end.

From 11:30 on very quiet.

Is that Harlie laying next to the nest box? If so, Kat and the other watchers are not getting very entertained!!  Sad
