Horrible Day at the Red Tailed Nest June 15, 2010
Between one eyas hitting the window, the female hitting the window, another eyas falling halfway down the tree (safely landed on a branch), 2 kestrels attacking the eyas and female - when I left all were alive and well. My heart went for a leap many times today - in fact I was crying on a friends shoulder when I was sure we had lost one eyas (and hard to believe I was only there for 2 hours).
The main thing is they are all ok and the 2nd flight for the middle eyas was tricky he was sitting up on the branch across the road cyring but ok. So I really need some relaxation medication if this keeps up.
Oldest eyas flight from nest to woodlot across the road. Successful and the youngest eyas watched on.

Red Tails at SCC - Help if they hit the windows on building
A lot of people come and visit the SCC to see the eyas. If you do wonderful.
If you see anything - A hawk hits the window, gets hit by a car, or falls watch where the hawk goes and monitor them.
Call Toronto Wildlife Centre if you are concerned about the injury. See below information on the website.
Thank you for being concerned citizens and please email me if you see anything. I have been watching the nest now for 2 years and will go down and monitor the birds if they strike a window etc. I also have people who can go with me who are experienced at watching hawks and peregrines.
Today an eyas hit the building - I did not know until 6 hours later. Please carry emergency numbers when you visit the hawks please.
thanks you to Attila and Chris for their support today. By 4pm all 3 eyas were back by the nest and the female was flying around.

Information About TWC's Wildlife Hotline Phone System:
We have recently instituted a new user-directed phone system to better serve our callers. As in the past, you will still have to leave a message for our hotline staff to call you back, but this new system assists us in triaging our calls (so that the most urgent calls can be returned first), as well as provides information to callers on some wildlife situations.
During the spring and summer months, TWC receives approximately 200 calls per day, and each call requires careful consideration and sometimes a significant amount of time. During these extremely busy seasons, our goal is to return calls about sick, injured and orphaned animals within one hour. Please do be patient, though: our Hotline Staff are highly-trained and will return your call as soon as possible. While you wait, it may be helpful to look through the FAQ page on this site. Thank you!
