During Bev's shift yesterday, Junior had to be rescued and returned to the roof of the Clinical Sciences Building. What happened is he tried to fly around to other buildings, but ran out of steam, could not land properly, and eventually landed on the top floor of the parking lot where Bev and the fledge crew were located. They got a towel over him, called a friend from the Wildlife Rehab Centre, who came over and checked him out. He was fine, and Peter came down and returned him to the roof the CSB. When I arrived Bev was getting ready to leave, after a long and scary day, and Junior was still on the ledge. Peter and I watched Junior for almost two hours, and nothing happened, and then, of course, everything happened. Junior mis-stepped and fell from his perch on the CSB, and tried to fly over to College Plaza, where Radisson was sitting with food. Well, he lost his nerve, and turned around and went back, and landed on the second roof of the heart institute; then, about 20 minutes later, he left the heart institute to make his way over to Radisson on College Plaza, with Chase following him closely, but he could not get a proper landing on the building, so he circled around and then flew around to the back, where we could not see him. Peter went down to look for him, and found him on the back side of College Plaza, on the 8th floor ledge. Meanwhile, while this was going on, Radisson flew over to the top of the heart institute, along with Chase, then she moved back to College Plaza; Chase flew over around the back of College Plaza but I could not see where he went or landed. When Peter returned to the parking lot where we were situated, he called Jean, who can see lots from her balcony on Windsor Park, a nearby building, and Jean could see Junior on the ledge on the back of College Plaza, and was going to keep an eye on him. As it was starting to get dark, Peter and I left, with all birds accounted for.
