I can't find any news about the banding that took place on June 4. Am I looking in the wrong place? (Did go to the CPF page of course, but nothing is posted there about this).

Report of the banding with pics:

Linda Woods is a watcher there and reported to Carol P. that the spelling was Gurdy so I would go with that version.

June 21, 2013 - Toronto - Sheraton Centre

Harry Crawford Reports:

Day 7 - morning shift.
I started out checking the Dominion of Canada General Insurance
building where the chick was last seen yesterday evening. Nothing
was visible so I decided to do a ground search south of the Hilton.
When I got there I could hear a chick vocalising. Completing the
ground search with no results, I went up to Sheraton 43 and saw a
chick on 150 York with both parents beside it. Then I looked for
the two missing chicks and when I looked back to 150 York, the chick
and an adult had left. One adult remained. An hour or so later,
the chick was back on 150 York twice. Searches for the missing ones
did not turn anything up.

Linda and Paul arrived before lunch and Linda spotted the chick on
200 University. Unfortunately we couldn’t see the tape for further
identification.

11:30 pm report from Linda Woods: (Gurdy is spotted!!!)

This afternoon after what seems like a long time, Both Gurdy and one male have been spotted. Gurdy was seen on the roof of the Hilton and one male on the roof of DBRS. As I wasn’t sure who it was I was watching last evening. Not sure who the male is. But that is a good thing, means they are too high to see the bands. All we need now is to see the third and then there will be no question. Seems they are flying well. The young male was fed around 6:30p.m. As I waited for them they seem to settle in where they were and as soon as I settled in, they took off. I only caught sight of one bird heading south of the Adelaide, but I’m sure they flew together. No more sightings of any birds after that. They are really flying well this year. I think because of the cooler weather and more wind.

man, things are weird this year. Hope they see them all.
I was confused for a bit three as the banding report was there and I had to scroll back to see the banding ws on June 4 :girlcrazy:

I think weather patterns are affecting a lot of things

Two in view, third not seen
June 22, 2013 - Toronto - Sheraton Centre

Linda Woods Reports:

This afternoon/evening Gurdy and one of the males were seen in the same area as before the heavy rain.

While I kept an eye on the one that looked like it was going fly further south, three Mallard Ducks flew north on University Ave and hooked at right at Richmond. Perhaps they were heading for City Hall and the Jazz Festival. When this juvie scooted out of my view, I repositioned and caught sight of what I think was a second juvie. Repositioned again to a higher elevation and found two juveniles on the roof of 150 York St. And that’s where they stayed for the entire time.

I repositioned back to ground level, for a better view. One flew south and landed on the roof across the street, while the other stayed. Both adult were sitting on the corners of 130 Adelaide and paying no attention to either of juveniles. Unfortunately we have not seen the third juvenile for a few days now. We were holding out hope that it might reappear today, but there has been no sign of it so far.
