Something is Going On Up there!!
March 29, 2011 - Etobicoke - Sun Life Centre
Kathy Reports:
Angel has been inside the nestbox - I could see her head and she has been alternating between standing and laying down - all morning. When she stands up in the box, I can see her head over the side of the nestbox ledge with my binoculars. Jack has been standing guard on the cam keeping his eye on the window washer who is on the second building over from us.
Earlier this morning when I arrived, he was already on the cam and she was in the nestbox. She has only left twice, when he brought her food. She took it to the mating corner and he immediately stood by the nestbox until it was time. Two lengthy mating sessions were observed, after which- both times she immediately returned to the nestbox. He continues to stand on the cam watching over her while keeping one eye on the poor window washer.
There is no way at this time to confirm the presence of eggs however all activity and behaviour is pointing to it - things are on track at least!

Still sitting and waiting..

More of the same today with Angel, just sitting by the nestbox on the ledge and waiting.. There was some excitement that was reported to me after lunch that involved Angel screaming her head off from the ledge and Jack chasing someone out of the territory..by the time I was able to get outside and take a look, all was calm. When I left Angel was..you guessed it..sitting by the nestbox and Jack was on the next ledge over watching the window washers set up for tomorrow. So the next week will have workmen right next to them - if there is an egg or two up there we should see some interesting behaviour so I guess that should give me a clue.
I told her today that Rhea Mae at the Sheraton is already 2 eggs ahead but she seems nonplussed about it all ::)

2011 NESTING SEASON
Sticking Close to Nest Box
March 25, 2011 - Etobicoke - Sun Life Centre
Kathy Reports:
This morning when I arrived Angel was sitting by the nestbox and then she flew over to one of the towers. I assumed she was on her own but a few minutes later jack jumped out of the nestbox and flew off to head to his other site and Angel immediately flew back to the ledge and got into the nestbox. I watched a few minutes and then she came back out but she’s been on the ledge right next to the nestbox every time I’ve checked for the past 4.5 hours. She does seem a bit lethargic this morning and looks like she’s having a bad hair day on top of it all !

Thanks guys, I'm okay. I kiind of had a 'feeling' something was up - we had some violent storms that weekend and I kept worrying about dotca up there in cottage country and for some reason I couldn't get it out of my mind but turns out if was little BB that didn't make it. I just hope it was quick and that he didn't suffer.
