Well, given that Ivy has produced many children with his mother, and that he left Jules for Mommy Dearest, I'm convinced that Peregrines are deeply lacking in morals and decent behaviour.

On the other hand, there is dear Beau hanging in with Jules trying to get her to nest in a nice nestbox but still she goes and nests in her "unsuitable" location. Seems to depend on whether there are kids involved. If there are, they are devoted. If there aren't, then some consider other options. Ivy had a failed nest with Lucy, then he had a failed nest with Jules before finally giving up and trying his luck downtown. Princess rebuffed him the first year he courted her, preferring to wait for Trey to return. The next year, there was little waiting and Trey never returned and the rest is history.
susha:
And didn't Jules have a brief fling with Ivy at the beginning of the season?!? :o

Okay, while Dennis and I were out today, we found a pair at HSC - not surprising - or rather we saw one bird that I thought looked like Joli (and it was) and then a male came in, ate some food, then the pair engaged in some exceedingly heavy canoodling. Ah, young love :) Then Dennis checked his photos and it looks like Joli has made another choice than we had hoped for ... Smiley. :o
There was an early morning visit today as I reported on in my last post. No way to see who it might have been. No visits since then and no visits yesterday. But on Sunday, I have a clear view of Ivy and his band in the nestbox a number of times before I went up to clean out the nestbox. And then when I was there, there was a female, but she was too high for me to tell who she might be but I'm sure the male was Ivy yelling at me from his usual perch.
So, is Joli just being a wee bit more bohemian than we are used to? Or has she given up on Ivy? Or has Ivy decided that Joli isn't who he is looking for? And/or has someone new (female) turned up at the Radisson? So many questions, such tiny little leg bands! ::)
The Peregrine Chick:
at 0600h this morning both the female and the male came to check out the snow in the nestbox and they both went all the way into the box to check it out and were there for a minute or two before the male left and then the female a minute later. Unfortunately, I could see them in the dim light with the skycam but there wasn't enough light to be able to see on either the inside or outside box cams so I can't say what they were doing inside, just that they were inside.
Hopefully they will be back later to check it out again ..
