Sounds like you had a very productive meeting Bev!  You are so lucky to be able to work with Gord - he obviously cares about the falcons.  Great news that he is going to add new gravel and fix it up and double 'yay' for making the cover for that white contraption!

I really wish you luck with a nestbox for Miss Edmonton, she deserves it!  Given the charisma and enthusiasm you showed during the interviews and media circus last year, I have no doubt that if anyone could convince him you could!  Good luck!

I met with Gord today.
First of all I did see two RAvens at the river on the way to the site. Later Peter and I saw 2 at the Uni but by Ed building.
I brought Peter along for a break.
all the biologists are at the University for the next few days sharing stories and giving talks on peregrines and other birds, so Gord was  kind enough to meet us and talk with us.

First week of April ,which is next week , he is going to add new gravel to the box. He asked me about the state of the box and with all the stuff in there they will fix it up.

Also he is going to address the problem of the white structure by the box.  It will still remain there but he is making a cover from canvas that will fit over top after banding so the young will not drop inside.  this is great news.

We discussed the interference from maintenance workers and he will talk to them again.  We will also try and coordinate all the security people so they are in the loop.  
And no media at the banding.  He also was upset last year about it.

He is also giving me the name of the man that owns the2 buildings where Miss Edmonton  roosts and I will try and coax him into letting Gord put up a nest box.

We will keep a watch on the ravens. hopefully the storms in the USA will not delay our birds.

We were also talking about transmitters and he also thinks that they may  delay the migration back here of the peregrines and so sometimes if their site is gone they will not breed that year.  It is being studied. So we will be carefully watching the return of the two at Genesse.

It was a good meeting

Interior of the nest box looks littered on the cam shot, but it's not obviously sticks like last year when G&W took up residence.
