Islington and Bloor as mentioned, was Frank's main nest site. By early next week, the watch will have started. It's going to be thin for volunteers. I can only commit a couple hours about 3 week days, and probably 4 on Saturdays/Sundays. Another steady volunteer who works in the area has a lot of extra duties this time around and won't be able to get away from the office nearly as much. A lot of people in the area are well aware of the birds which helps. There should be a senior watcher there through much of this, but it's difficult for one person to monitor 4 chicks once they get moving around.
Anyone interested, much of the watch is done from the corner of Bloor Street and Eagle Road, by the Bell building, across from the Longest Yard from early morning until sunset.
We were there for a short while yesterday, even though the chicks aren't moving around much yet. We had our coffee and breakfast on the Bell steps, enjoyed watching Jack and O'Conner put on some flight shows, flush some Pigeons and then Jack caught one, paraded above a bit before he disappeared to clean the kill, eat some and return with the rest for the young.

A birth certificate shows we were born. A death certificate shows we died. Pictures show we live.
