!!! All is quiet, with exception of Turkey Vulters

Linda Woods Reports:

A quick check on the Sheraton, late this afternoon, all four seemed to be lounging the late afternoon away. Rhea Mae and Tiago were not  in my view. Back down to ground level, viewing from across the street, two Turkey Vultures came floating through the downtown core and over the Sheraton. Rhea Mae and Tiago were in hot pursuit and pushed them out of the area.  And that was the most exciting event of the evening. I decided that not much flapping or activity at this time, I would walk a few blocks over to King St to help locate the fledgling from that nest site.  Rain expected tomorrow, lets hope they all decided to stay at home until the weather clears.

No fledge yet.

Harry Crawford Reports:

Morning Shift:  No fledge this morning.  There was a feeding at
8:20am.  Mother flew into the nest ledge and left 25 minutes
later.  The chicks settled down for a couple of hours.  By 11am,
all 4 chicks were visible on the ledge with the parents on the
Sheraton west antenna just above the area.  Later, two of the
chicks were flapping.  The shift was passed to Marion.

They each  have their own viewing area.  

They won't stand next to each other as 1 may BUMP the other off! Smart babies!

So RM can never lay more than 8 eggs.

No flights, Rhea Mae has found a new perch
June 09, 2012 - Toronto - Sheraton Centre
Linda Woods Reports:

Arrived to start the evening shift. After looking at the usual perches for Rhea Mae and Tiago I focused on the huge new condo tower on University Avenue, called the Shangri La. By 6:50 p.m I found Rhea Mae sitting on the east facing balcony, 3 floors from the top of the new tower.  An hour later she took off and out of sight.  Tiago appears on the north facing balcony of the same building.   The four youngsters remained quiet this evening with minimal flapping.

8:15p.m. Rhea Mae is seen hunting in the area of Scotia Tower and westward.   8:45p.m. the kids start vocalizing and a little bit of flapping but I could not find where Rhea Mae or Tiago were perched. I assumed they were in view of the nest ledge.  By 9:20 both Rhea Mae and Tiago were not in sight and the juvies had settled down and back from street view of the nest ledge. No food drop to the nest ledge this evening.

Sounds like our guess on who this is might just be right!

WOW ! Great Catch!

[Dumpsterkitty]

It looked like a youngster by the main cam...



It was!

It's funny, I don't recall ever seeing one up there before at this nest.



Right before he made the leap!

[Dumpsterkitty]

Oh all right...



...I'll take the end slot...again!

There...you featherless creatures...lets get an AWWW! so I can go to bed...



Bed sounds like a good idea!

!!! Marlee takes flight, unseen
June 10, 2012 - Toronto - Sheraton Centre
Linda Woods Reports:

This aftenoon when I arrived we had only been seeing 3 juvies through the webcam. Thinking it was lying down in the back, I checked the ledge numerous times and still only 3.  Scanned the area roof tops and could not see any indication of a fledge. Rhea Mae and Tiago are really liking the new glass Shandra-La Condo tower located at University Avenue and Adelaide St.   Bruce arrived a little later to assist me in the search.

At 4p.m. we were seeing the adults flying north of the Sheraton over Osgoode Hall. Food transfer was done mid air and delivered to the nest ledge. The adults continued there low flights  over the Opera House. I then saw an adult sitting on the south corner of the DBRS building.  At 4:30p.m.  Bruce found Marlee in the court yard garden behind the Hilton Hotel.  Bruce picked him and we placed him in the carrier and took him to a cool , quiet area for a rest.  He appeared in good condition.  He was placed back on the ledge at 7:00p.m. by Marion.  Another food drop to the ledge at 7:40p.m. and all remained quiet for the remainder of the night. A little flapping, and a lot of looking out the nest ledge.  At dark, one adult on the north side of 130 Adelaide St. tower.

[Donna]

So glad Bruce found him. OY, here we go! Please let them all be well this season.

[Donna]

I'm only seeing 3, did Marlee go again!

[Dumpsterkitty]

Stay safe babies!
