Not in the last month ... would you like me to correct for you Eye-Spy, I know technology is a bit of a mystery for you ... ;D
The Peregrine Chick:
1015 hrs (local) - Princess is on the eggs now, Trey was on first thing. The birds aren't being fluffed much by the wind though they are fluffing up to keep warm. There is no snow showing on the ledge. I have posted photos in the May 8 photo gallery - Radisson Gallery

Birds of all species are all remarkably tolerant in fact - depends what is happening to them. When we band the chicks, all peregrines are ticked off. If we get near their eggs they are ticked off. If we have to get near their nestsite prior to eggs being laid they are usually ticked off. As for moving the eggs, the eggs are being moved all the time. If we do manage to get a nest tray in place the eggs will be moving about 12-18 inches - and the adults will move them that much in the first few days after hatching (its harder to keep chicks in one place than it is eggs). Its not like they won't be able to see them at all times and there will be no roof on this box, it will be wide open, just a little higher. So to answer your question, no we aren't anticipating any problems, nor have any of our colleagues expressed concerns about abandonment, so we are comfortable with our plans, now its just a case of getting the plans into operation.

Thanks TPC for all you are doing. Hope the weather holds for you to accomplish what you need to do. :-*
