First Tiago was visiting



And there she is!



I'm pretty sure this is Rhea Mae with her...not quite as bright white as Tiago

[Dumpsterkitty]

Pretty girl.

She's napping now

An update on Sandy from the CPF:

The Sheraton Airshow is On!

July 08, 2015 - Toronto - Sheraton Centre

Harry Crawford Reports:

Alex and I met at the Sheraton Centre at 10am. Nothing was visible from ground level so we went up to Sheraton 43. An adult was on the northwest corner of 130 Adelaide W. A few minutes later, we saw a bird flying high and to the south. It circled back and headed towards us. It was Sandy! She was close enough to see her dark chest and appeared to head for the Sheraton roof. Down to street level south of 120 Adelaide W we went. Alex spotted her head just to the right of the swing stage. She remained there until workers appeared on the roof behind her. She took off and headed towards Scotia Plaza and mom joined her. She was so high and flying like an adult.

We were about to call it a day and thought of dropping by Osgoode Hall and bring Irena up to date. We were on the sidewalk on University Ave. just west of Osgood Hall when Alex spotted an adult, Rhea-Mae, on Canada Life just below the weather beacon. Sandy comes in from the south and mom joins her. Then in comes Tiago and we have an airshow. What a spectacular fifteen minutes of flying. At times they were quite high. Alex spotted Sandy talon touching with mom. It was just luck that we were there to see this as they are now all over the place.

I would have loved to see all three flying together. So glad Sandy is doing well.

Sandy Staying in the Area

July 08, 2015 - Toronto - Sheraton Centre

Linda Woods Reports:

Fledgling Sandy continues to do well under the careful eyes of Rhea Mae and Tiago. She is staying close to home as the adults continue to care for her and teach her flight lessons and hunting tactics.  Earlier today all three were seen flying high over the area of the Sheraton Hotel.  This evening, Sandy was seen on another roof top. I think she must have just been fed as she had a full crop.  She will remain in the area with the adults for another month or so, until she is fully independent of the adults. In the meantime, volunteers will continue to keep track of her.

So happy to hear that Sandy is doing so well!

Rhea Mae was at the nest a couple of times this morning (back views only). This afternoon, there was another back view of a peregrine, but when she changed position, I saw that it was Sandy! I was very happy to see her.







Something caught her attention outside:



And then she was gone.

Great catch, Alison! 

[Dumpsterkitty]

Excellent! Thank you Alison!

[Dumpsterkitty]

Sandy is napping in the nest tray. I wasn't sure when I first saw her preening but the beige tail-tip is a dead giveaway.

[Dumpsterkitty]

Up from her nap...

STRETCH! And looking out on her world.

[Kris G.]

Good catches, Ei! Sandy is a homebody!

[Donna]

Yay, we like home bodies!!!!!
