I had been seeing only one of the chicks for a few days.

June 16, 2019 - Toronto - Sheraton Centre

Marion Nash Reports:

Sad news to report!

Looks like we lost one of the chicks. Since the early afternoon of the 14th there has only been 1 chick seen on the ledge. Linda has been out twice to have a look and see if the chick was indeed gone from the ledge and it there was a body on the ground but no luck. We suspect the chick was wither blown off in the awful winds we have had or was grabbed by a hawk while mom was out hunting, with only one parent attending the nest this is also quite possible. Since the chick was still so young and did not have the flight feathers in yet a fall from the ledge would not be survivable and who know how far the wind would have blown it as it fell.

Not sure what happened but somehow double posted.  ???  So I just deleted the second one.

They banded here today:

BANDING - Sheraton Centre, June 4

Two boys for this site which has an unbanded adult female and the adult male is thought to be STORMIN.

Welcome BONVOY (C/59, blue band, 580g, 21 days old) and QUINN (D/62, red band, 590g, 22 days old)
Both names are meaningful to this site as Bonvoy is the name of Marriott's new loyalty program, and Quinn is named after Quinn's Steakhouse and Grill in the hotel.

We wish our boys safe and successful fledges ❤️
Cheers, Lucie 🙂

Four eggs laid this year.  First egg hatched yesterday morning around 11.00 am and early this morning so now we have 2 babies.

Early this year, we noticed that Rhea Mae and Tiago had not been seen on cam since last November 2017.  A new female started showing up on camera and it was noted that she was trying to entice a male to the ledge.  The female was unbanded and she was named 'Chaos' by the watchers there.  Eventually after a few weeks the male showed up on the ledge and was ID'd as Stormin - son of Rhea and Tiago and the resident male from the King St location.  It should also be noted that this female looked like the one that took over King St from Erin back in December.

Perhaps she like the fact that this site had a nest tray?  Who knows but they went on to nest here and had 3 boys.  Two did not survive the fledge period and the lone surviving male named Geoff is so far doing fine and has made it back to the ledge several times.
