That would be great news to hear! I'll be anxiously checking the unread posts (even more so than usual, that is).

Same here but it's hard to get anything done!! Soooo exciting ;D

Hopefully I'll be able to confirm that they have chosen the nestbox in the next couple of days ....

Yay!! - Go figure, no shouting out windows, chanting up & down streets and making up coaxing verses this year ...and they decide to Nest on the West anyway!!!   ::) - Whatever, that's a GOOD thing!! ;D

Sure looks like they are going to go for the nestbox .... this is what Princess and Trey have done for years on the west-side of the hotel at this time of the year!

Ivy seems to be getting the hang of sitting on curved letters. Our young man has a good learning curve. He will need it when the chicks hatch!

Oh Mother Hen, don't cross your eyes! We need them both looking straight ahead to keep an eye on the birds!  :o

I use binocs, a scope and my camera (which I can then use to zoom in and have a closer look!).  I have gotten it wrong on many occasions - sent a picture to Tracy of Princess, and she comes back with "nice shot of Trey!".  Princess is bigger, for sure, and has a lot of 'flecks' higher on her breast.  Ivy has a pretty white 'clean' breast, and I think is darker all over.

I've seen photos of both Ivy and Princess (of course), but could you tell me what helps you most to tell them apart from a distance.  Size should work, but I really have trouble otherwise.  Maybe I need better binoculars or a spotting scope ( sounds expensive).
Thanks
