And the third but unofficial purpose of the web cam is to make us all stop tapping our fingers on the desk, chatting about cheese, chocolate and wine, going off on spam debates, etc, etc, etc.

No. Webcam is working fine (has been for a month) and we could flip the switch at any time. We are delaying the launch until we have exhausted our chances to get a nest tray in place. The window of opportunity is closing quickly so the cam will go live very soon.
The webcam has two functions:
- a recovery function = to monitor the nesting peregrines remotely thereby reducing the need to unduly disturb them to check on their progress.
- an education function = to enable the public to learn about the peregrines, understand the complex issues involved in at-risk species recovery efforts and to foster a committment to environmental stewardship.
When the recovery function of the webcam comes into conflict with the educational function, the recovery function takes precedence as that is the primary purpose of the Project.
I will let everyone know in advance, via email, on the Forum and everywhere else we can access, to let you all know when the webcam will go online .

It's the same ledge. Apparently, in the past, they have alternated between the ledge and a purpose-built nesting box on the same building. People here were pretty unhappy that they chose that spot again this year.
Whitehorse:
I was just wondering, is the ledge they are currently nesting on the same one they were at last year? If it is not, will they ever go back to the other site, since they lost their chicks there?
