We can only hope that vigorous territorial behavior is proportionate to his appreciation of its location for nesting!

Dennis and I installed a tuppernest at on a suitable building for Cowboy and Joli, now we will just have to see if they use it! By his behaviour, he was pretty adamant about not wanting us there, pretty sure I could feel his breath on the back of my neck as he flew by my head a few times :o. Didn't spend any more time out on that roof than we needed to, that's for sure! Cowboy don't like anyone on his property!!

Here's hoping right along with you!

If she can't access the nest box will she just choose any place or will it be too late to lay eggs. I am thinking like a human...when a baby wants to arrive it just arrives and there is not stopping it. Are laying eggs like that.
I know I may sound dumb but it is just a thought.

No worries Moonstar, we are working on that part of the equation as well. There is one location that we know they have been visiting that we hope to put a tuppernest and then another spot that is close to their favourite perch that we are pretty sure they will at least notice. The plan would be to block access to the nestbox and hope they retreat their comfort zone (HSC) and then say "hey honey, look there are nice boxes of gravel, how about there for the family?" That's our hope at least ...
