Quest and Kendal - Toronto/Don Mills

  Quest takes away feathers and bones from nest ledge

Both Quest and Kendal bringing in food

  Kendal comes in with food. Blaze is there tearing it out of his talons. I would say that Blaze has a temper.

Thank you Donna, and Ann for the great picture.  I hope she took off from there; it is kind of low.

Thank you Donna, and Ann for the great picture.  I hope she took off from there; it is kind of low. 

I'll say it's low! That awning is just above the back door to Harlequin. I hope nobody messes with her if she is still there after the building shuts down for the day. Ya never know what kind of nutjobs are out there. That may be too low for her to take off from too so perhaps Mark or someone from CPF can take her to a higher place.

Amazing Blaze

She moved back to the ledge, but Amora is only about 10 feet off the ground.

If this is her first flight, maybe she is tired.  I hope she stays safe and rests.  Stay safe little one.

She should hopefully be ok.  We've had many M&K young come to ground during their first flights and then get themselves out of trouble.  This includes her mom, Quest.  On her first day of flying, she came to the ground in a parking lot on the north side of the Kodak Tower.  After resting, she flew up to the roof of a very low building at the back of the parking lot.  She would rest for a couple hours and then fly up to a higher roof.  This continued throughout the day into the evening when she ended up on the roof of one of the BeeBee Station Bldgs, where she helped us find her sister who had been missing all day.

This same thing happened with other fledglings who's first flights ended up taking them to the ground.  As long as they are safe, it is best to stay back at a distance and keep an eye on the bird, making sure others stay away if possible.  If she's not injured, she should be able to get herself to a higher spot after resting.

I hope we hear from the Watchers that she's moved higher by tomorrow morning.

AMORA has made it up to the Harlequin ROOF, with  the help of Mark Nash! He got her after dark tonight. Clean bill of health too!   Thanks Mark!!

Another quick update. Blaze is flying like a star & Mira had a great day of flying. They spent a lot of time on top of the Harlequin building today.
