Oh boy!!  A whole lot of action going on!!  Whoever these two are, they're busy!   :o  I hope they find warm places to hide out in for the next day or so  :P.  Then they can get on with making a family!! ;D ;D

2 birds just flew into the nest box!
They have been in there a couple minutes.  Re-decorating their new digs?

Hello TPC, I read an article in the Wpg Sun. Is this what you meant when you said you need to resurrect a site in South Winnipeg.?  http://www.winnipegsun.com/news/winnipeg/2011/03/20/17695376.html  .

Not specifically GMG.  We used to have a nestsite at the University of Manitoba but they have been doing alot of work on their buildings over the last 10 years and since the site was being used, when it came time for that building to be worked on, we removed our very old nest/hackbox.  Last year I was interested in replacing the box, but there was work nearby that would be too much of a disturbance so we deferred it again.  We are looking at the possibility again though and maybe it will be quiet enough now to see what we can pull off.

Just as a note, we had a nestbox in West Winnipeg for 15 years and we never had a nest there.  Though I like to think positively and believe that if we install a box, they will come, it is not always the case.  What helps with this site is that once upon a time, it did appeal to peregrines - we had a pair nest there for three years back in the 1990s.  Nothing after that but we'll get one back on site yet.

TPC, can we expect to see a phemale phalcon phight? ???  ???  

My fingers are firmly crossed, hoping nothing like that has to happen! I know it's nature's way but I'm hoping the situation will resolve itself in a way that leaves both Princess and Sandy unharmed.

:-*   Thank you, Saorise for bringing me up to par for what could, in fact, happen. We definitely need more nestboxes. Winnipeg is fast becoming a falcon magnet city.  :)

Not so simple as just more nestboxes, need to have them far enough away that they don't conflict and have all the necessary features.  We hope to be able to resurrect a box in south Winnipeg but its a case of waiting for renovations to be complete.  And keep in mind that until two years ago, there was only one pair in Winnipeg, the West Winnipeg site is new.

Hmmm, don't think I remember them doing "it" on top of "there".

Hopefully I will be able to confirm band numbers on our lovebirds soon!

I don't think I've seen anybird land there before.....got a very fuzzy shot of the action, though, so it did happen!
