Logan - 2013 / Cowboy & Jolicoeur
birdnut:
Two birds spent most of yesterday here. Various staff are watching and they were both birds were spotted in the morning, at lunch time and supper time and then again at 7:30 p.m. They were sitting either on the letters or on the rooftop.
This morning (9:10) one bird was sitting on the "H" again.

No there isn't a nestbox because the site is too close to the Radisson and there really isn't any appropriate locations. Cowboy and Kate tried nesting but broke one egg at least at the site they chose and the abandoned their other egg. Last year Cowboy and Joli didn't even try nesting, but Joli was a borderline too young. This year, IF Joli isn't the female with Ivy and IF Smiley and Joli are still together (we haven't seen him for a week) then we will have to hope they find one of the other nestboxes around town or they find another place and we can maybe help them out a bit. HSC/CSC is really too close to make nesting here successful, but it is a very popular place to roost (protected, in the sun, good sightlines) and it is on the way to where the peregrines like to hunt pigeons particularly in the spring before other eats come home or when there are lots of hungry mouths wanting food now.
If there is a pair here, we will keep an eye on them and see what they do. "Floaters" are a common and very important part of a peregrine population, so just because they aren't nesting doesn't mean they aren't important for the species' long-term survival.

Not sure that Smiley is around any more ... last sighting we have of him (confirmed) was on April 16th ... and now that the spy-cam is back up and operating I have seen Ivy and Joli on the east side of the building which is more than I have seen them at the same time on the west side of the building ... (see the Radisson thread for the rest of this ...)
We are still keeping an eye out for Smiley but it maybe that Smiley is off "smiling" somewhere else ...
