Well, if they keep doing this they are certainly going to have eggs!! ;D
The Peregrine Chick:
You may be right RCF or it might be a bit early. Jules and Beau were back together on March 28th and they have just started to incubate today. Generally I count a minimum of three weeks from the time both birds are seen when estimating when eggs will be laid. If Hurricane and Brooklyn met up outside of town on their way in, they may have started courting but canoodling takes place when they get back on territory - have to know you have a home before you start playing house. One or both of the McKenzie Seeds birds were back on April 8th, so I think perhaps you have another week before they start ... but every pair is different and perhaps they were being secretive when they arrived, the weather did suck at the time. We will just have to wait and "see" what you see! :)
RCF:
Hurricane has been spending a lot of time at the nest box in the last few days. I saw her perched on Thursday evening, then again this morning and she was there after work. Maybe she is thinking about laying an egg! ;D

You have to go east from 9th street to at least 8th street to even see the nest box. Isn't it amazing what illusions a camera can create. ;)

Very, very interesting! What an illusion! I had no idea that long white thing under the nestbox in one of your photos, RCF, was actually the top edge of the lower wall! :o And like bcbird, I wondered how I had missed it before. Wonderful photo, RCF! :D

Me too! RCF, some of your pictures are just stunning. Your snow bird one for example would make a wonderful Christmas/seasonal greeting card. I really appreciate all your time and effort (and I don't buy the "I just point the camera" thing. I point the camera too and sometimes get nothing in the shot!) Thanks so much!
