Traveling from point "A" to point "B" by way of "D" yesterday finds Ivy and Jules perched on the Diner in the West-End of Winnipeg.
As well a few more photos of Jules have been loaded... http://www.pbase.com/photosbydennis/west_wpg2

I have not been here for a few days and that was the last news I expected.
So sorry but maybe they will attempt a second clutch.It has happened before.
Wind did that in  toronto a few years back.

It is very sad to hear about the eggs.  I feel like I know these birds just through Dennis' pictures.  Those last picture are amazing - you can feel the wind against the tail feathers as Jules/Ivy?  banks around.  I am glad they are both okay and hope they will try again at least next year. 

Most, if not all of Dennis' recent photos are of Jules - great looking bird

Awwwwwww - Haven't been over to this thread for a few days and came over to get updated, sure never expected this news.  :-\ - How odd to have both eggs disappear??? - Maybe they weren't going to hatch anyway due to the rather haphazard incubating of Jules & Ivy at the beginning? Next time will be better!! :)

Couldn't tell for sure if it was Ivy or Jules, I think Ivy though, was sitting on the B&B tonight ....

Thanks for the new photos.  A totally different angle than we're used to!

Larry (Eye-Spy) is checking out the video and we know who screwed up the angle on our camera - Jules.  With a whole ledge to land on, she sat on the camera, even though we put it too low (we thought) for any peregrine to sit on it, before getting up on the "exit" ledge.  Means we won't know exactly what happened to the eggs as the cam was perfectly aimed at the nestbox for the last little bit.  But we are close enough that we should be able to rule some things in or out.

Keep you all in the loop ...

And Jules and Ivy are fine, they have still been spotted in all their pre-incubating favourite spots ...

I am SO sad to hear this.  :'( :'(   I hope they give it another shot -- there's still time.  And if not, next year. :D
