I'm so sorry to hear this news...I was wondering what was going on as I saw both peregrines at each corner of their local hangout in the early morning hours yesterday and today. 
Maybe they will re-nest...if not, hope they hang out until the end of the season and return next year as a pair.

We don't believe so, the site is very inaccessible and we know who has access and haven't had any concerns so far!  So the likelihood of them disappearing into a human pocket, is virtually nil.

Is it possible a human could have done something?  Hope not.

Just wondering, when you say that the eggs were lost, does this mean that they disappeared altogether? 

Yes, but that's not unusual -  one minute there, one minute gone.  Hopefully the camera will have caught all or part of what might have happened.

No, but have no idea if this pair would even consider it because I don't know what kind of parents they are ... we'll watch for copulation though, that might indicate they are considering another attempt ....

Oh so sorry to hear that Tracy.  I hope they stay together and stick around the area as well.  Too late for a reclutch attempt?

Very sad for them  :(  I hope that they stay together too.  Perhaps after their experiences this year they will choose a better location, preferably one of those deluxe nest boxes.

Sad news, we lost the two remaining eggs at the West Winnipeg site.  Not sure what might have happened, we hope that perhaps the digital recorder we had on the camera monitoring the nest might be able to provide us with some information but if it happened at night, I'm afraid we just won't know.

Jules and Ivy are a young pair (we'll we know he is) but they are new together so hopefully having tried, even unsuccessfully this year, they will be more inclined to try it again with each other next year.  Its not unusual for unsuccessful pairs to split and try their luck elsewhere with other mates - that's what might have happened between Ivy and Lucy, despite their being siblings.  So we will just have to hope that Jules and Ivy stick long enough to be successful, they seem like a good fit as a pair - except for their nest site choices of course.

More on what's next in West Winnipeg later today ...

2-3 weeks from now.  We think we know when hard incubation began so there is a bit of a range there .... we have a camera on them so we will be able to let everyone know as soon as it starts ....
