"The Diner" is a nickname we have given to a building the West Winnipeg peregrines like to eat at. We don't say where it is specifically because we are still having some problems with the safety and security of this pair. And this year they aren't helping us any.

Because no one has been able to access the site, or check on it for us, we aren't really sure. There are four eggs, she is incubating so it is probably a week, maybe a bit more. We will just have to count backward if the eggs hatch.

I knew you would eventually find them nested TPC :-*
Great news. Even if one is viable , it would be great.
so you know how long the eggs have been there or is that a guess.

Even if spooky silent, at least they have finally produced eggs, despite the nonstart at either the 2010 nest box or the penthouse site, and the false start at the unsuitable site. It's great that you were able to track them down to provide them with the Tupper Nest, TPC. We will be looking forward to reports of what they are up to thanks to Eye-spy's monitor cam.
The Peregrine Chick:
Jules and Beau are quiet, but this year kind of spooky silent. Even on strafing runs she didn't make a sound today. And they building has been having work done on it for the last couple of weeks and the birds have not been attacking the workers. If it were the Radisson or Brandon birds, someone would have gotten a good scare by now and would have auditory nightmares after listening to the birds scream at them by now. Last year, Jules and Beau came so close to hitting us when we were retrieving the chicks for banding but this year they aren't doing what we would expect, even just based on last year's performance. I have to assume its the location affecting how they responde to perceived threats. It would be great if next year if they would go back to last year's site and then we could see how they behave ... :-\
