I don't mind a little soap opera, but I really, really don't want to be a bloody soap opera like last year! :'(

Couldn't agree more! Come home safely everyone and STAY THAT WAY!
Baffled:
I agree with other posters that it is very positive that falcons are returning, and returning to this fantastic location, which has had so many successful nests and provided such an opportunity for the public to learn about these beautiful birds.
Many thanks again to the Peregrine Recovery Project, the Radisson, and CBC Manitoba.
And of course, I'm very interested to see who will decide to pair up and nest at the hotel this year. Exciting times!
allikat:
What excitement!!! It's still early yet folks...to me, it's just nice to know that falcons want this location, so, all in all, it's a positive in all directions. I prefer to see Princess back, of course, to "lock talons" with Ivy, and have Beau and Jules to their thing in West Winnipeg, but, birds do what they want to do and we must respect their wishes. Still very exciting that the birds are finally back, after a long winter...We shall see what this next week holds! (c'mon Princess....sorry, had to put that in) ;D
Liz:
I'm happy that anybirdies are here, no matter who they are. :D

She's not late yet. Ivy usually returns earlier than her in the spring and Jules is notorious for arriving 1st or 2nd each year. Ivy has only been home for a day, give it another week minimum before you start to worry/wonder. And it will depend on whether or not Jules wants to abandon Beau and West Winnipeg for Ivy and the Radisson and if Ivy will accept Jules and if Beau decides to not contest Ivy for the Radisson territory. So we wait and watch and see what happens.
And Jules is just one choice for downtown. Jolicoeur if she returns is just as likely to take over at the Radisson if Princess is absent. Or Sandy could reappear, we know she likes the nestbox! Or it could be someone entirely new ... that is the nice thing about this time of the year, so many possibilities!
