On The MendWe thought we'd share some news (and pictures) of how Kendal is progressing from the injuries he sustained during that severe storm last July.
After being treated at the Canadian Wildlife Centre and subsequently handed over to the Canadian Peregrine Foundation for further care, Kendal has now been transferred to the Owl Foundation in the Niagara Peninsula near St. Catherines, Ontario where he is undergoing rehabilitation. The Owl Foundation is a registered Canadian charitable organization focused on helping wild Canadian owls that are injured or orphaned and works to get them back to a healthy condition where they can survive on their own and can be released. Kendal is in good hands as he works his way back from a fractured coracoid that prevents him from fully extending his wing. We are still hoping for a full recovery. Stay tuned for more news on Kendal….
On the home front, Quest is still maintaining residence in her nestbox despite Kendal's long absence and the departure of her most recent offspring, Carina and Luna. Her new suitor, Skye, seems to be getting more and more comfortable and is making a case for himself as Quest’s new mate. Skye, a three-year-old male from Toronto, seems to be doing everything right so far which make us hopeful that we’ll have a thriving nestbox full of hatchlings once again in 2014.

FAQ
Someone is home at Don Mills... It looks large, so Im thinking its Quest. She is sitting at the edge of the nest box, but facing inward. Every now and then you can see her look back over her shoulder... She stood up, and from her head movements she was watching something (Skye?) flying. Now she has turned back into the box, looks like she is down scraping.... ok, she has hopped on to edge of nestbox, watching something, looking excited. Now she turned and went into the crevice between the nestbox and the concrete divider. She is peeking out ??
Quest is at her nestbox again this morning. Preening a bit, picking at her feet, a little leg stretch, then a wing stretch.... I wonder how Kendall is doing?
Carly, thank you so much for your update on Kendal ! He has a lot of people rooting for him.
Someone is at the nestbox... they were in it when I first came on. Its dark in the box, but I think it was scraping a bit. Then it hopped out to the edge, flapped its wings, and decided to stay.... Still there, with its back to the cam now, preening a bit.
Miss Quest is sitting at her nest box again today...
So glad to hear Kendall is doing well!
