Haven't seen Oliver since this morning. Wonder if he (or she-cannot imagine a boy would take this long to fledge) finally took the leap?

[Dumpsterkitty]

Not sure who this is, but he's got a full crop!

[Dumpsterkitty]

Took some digging but I found the post...Oliver fledged! I'll copy the post over later.

Looks like CPF is having some posting issues-but I found it!

!!! Oliver takes flight
June 24, 2014 - Toronto - Sheraton Centre
Linda Woods Reports:

Oliver, Sheraton’s fourth juvenile took his first flight today, unseen. He was spotted on a building just south of the hotel. Yeah! Finally. The other three our doing well staying high and out of trouble. I hope the three keep Oliver company and show him how it’s done.  Rhea Mae and Tiago are keeping watch on all four.

These I will copy & paste...

 Four boys doing well.
June 25, 2014 - Toronto - Sheraton Centre
Harry Crawford Reports:

Morning Shift:  At 9:15 I had all four boys in view.  Three were
being fed by Rhea Mae and one was perched nearby, watching.  All
four are very high up.  There was no serious flying seen but just
visits to adjacent buildings.  This is good as we had showers off
and on all morning.

 The boys are flying high!
June 26, 2014 - Toronto - Sheraton Centre
Harry Crawford Reports:

Morning Shift:  I had all four boys in view from street level this
morning.  There was much more flying than yesterday and they all
remained high.  They made so much noise that a number of people were
pointing them out.  One of them made a couple of trips back to the
nest ledge.

I knew it!

 Oliver comes to ground
June 27, 2014 - Toronto - Canada Square Building - Yonge and Eglinton Sheraton
Linda Woods Reports:

Sheraton’s last fledgling came to ground level this afternoon. What a surprise that must have been for all the foot traffic in the busiest part of the downtown core.  Oliver, who we are thinking is really Olivia was late in fledging which had us thinking that perhaps at banding being youngest was really female. Hard to say at the time of banding as the weight and size did not fully point to either male or female.

There were no injuries and a beautiful bird to say the least. Olivia will be kept overnight and examined on Friday by Ministry of Natural Resources biologist.

The other three were not in view this evening, probably camped out in the shade and exploring areas beyond our view from the nest area. I’m sure they’ll come closer to home for the night as they always do.

Many Thanks to Marcy and Security Staff of the Financial Building on University Ave for alerting us to the grounded peregrine.

Toronto Sheraton Guest Services and Toronto Sheraton Hotel Security for once again assisting our volunteers.

So it's three boys and a girl!  Glad Olivia's doing okay.   

[Dumpsterkitty]

Rhea Mae! Good to see her!

[Donna]

Downtown Toronto is busy with thousands of people here for the Jazz Festival and World Pride celebrations. Oliver came down to street level on Thursday afternoon and was kept over night. The bird was examined by MNR and to confirm our suspicions, Oliver is really Olivia. Her bands were changed to larger female bands, her tape colour is the same.
Olivia was returned to the nest ledge at the Sheraton this evening by Mark Nash and myself. She is healthy and strong and ready to go. Just after the release, she sat, jumped onto the box camera flapped her wings and then jumped onto the ledge looking out. Food was delivered sometime after 8p.m. A second fledgling returned the ledge to join her. I think it's Buzz as he likes to overnight at home.

Go Olivia!   Thanks to all the CPF folks who volunteer for the fledge watches and help with the rescues!

Toronto Sheraton:
Oliver ( Olivia ) has left the ledge. She is sitting on a lower roof top just south of the hotel. She looks like she needs more time, some breezes to get her going and gaining height.
The other three are tearing up the skies giving chase to the adults. Wow, some great flying.   

[Dumpsterkitty]

 Olivia is still taking her time
June 29, 2014 - Toronto - Sheraton Centre
Linda Woods Reports:

Olivia is still hanging tight to her comfortable spot just south of the Sheraton Hotel. Although high, it is low compared to the surrounding buildings.  Buzz, Trout and Ralphie are having a great time chasing Rhea Mae and Tiago with short games of tag, screaming all the way. What great flying and so nice to see for a change.  Most times all the activity is blocked from our view because of the office towers.

Hopefully tomorrow, Olivia will regain her confidence and put those wings to work.
