Which peregrine decides where to nest? I would have thought the ultimately it would be wherever the female decides to lay the eggs?

The males make a number of scrapes but yes, the female chooses. But the male influences her decision. Beau did not like her choice, she'd keep returning to last year's spot and he wouldn't join her often. A few times, the building is very peregrine friendly for roosting but he didn't like the site for nesting and he kept leaving her. She'd cry then follow after him - at first right away, then she was more stubborn, then she followed him more often again. They are much calmer where they are now that's for sure, its much less noisy/busy.

I am super excited that they chose the B&B to nest this year! Good luck to Jules and Beau!
