Great video TPC, looks like they've both been busy from the number of videos you have there!  ;)

Well, I'd like to think that he remembers me and was checking me out, but likely headed to the river for some fresh food.

Your building has good vantage points for river watching so could be both ...   :)

At 1:45 he was on the ledge. I looked back, he flew over my head and continued south. Lost sight of him then.

Hmm, wonder he was off to ... not his usual stomping grounds ....

Bit of both, I'd say.  Some nosing about, but more sitting and looking around.

Pray for more sitting and less nosing ...

1500 hrs (local) - bird sitting on the "i" on the Hydro sign ... been quiet in the nestbox today ...

Does that mean they are chosing the ledge instead of the box?  Did we not chant loud enough?  :)

Both Ivy and Princess have been doing alot of scraping in the nestbox which is an excellent sign and they are spending time on the west side everyday so at this point I can't say that it looks like they will nest in one spot more than the other yet.  Also can't "see" what Ivy and Princess are doing on the ledge ... if they are just sitting, not so worried.  If they are making nestscrapes, I worry more ...

Hey Pam, are the birds playing around in the dust or are they just sitting and waiting?

There is a point in the week-ish before laying where they seem to get very lazy ... maybe we are at that point though it does seem a bit early for that.  Having said that, the copulatory sessions we have observed over the last week have been prolonged and intense, so maybe they just got down to business as soon as they both got back ... we'll have to wait and see I'm afraid.

Ivy on the ledge again - looks like he's kicking up a bit of a fuss about something.....

He's probably yelling 'nest on the west' to Princess  :P
