Yes, they are in the right nestbox. In fact, it is the same nestbox Beau and Jules used very successfully in 2010 but in a different location from 2010. It's basically the same design as the McKenzie Seeds box and about the same size. Big difference is that it doesn't hang on the wall like McKenzie Seeds but rather it sits on a roof and the walls on the roof provide additional protection from the wind - this spot is windier than most but that's not necessarily a bad thing for peregrines. Downtown the problem with wind is that the tall buildings create canyons that funnel the wind, in West Winnipeg it is much more open (it's mostly residential) so the buildings are lower and the wind blows above them. Last year's chicks did very well keeping out of trouble, so fingers crossed that will be the same case this year.

April 7, Beatrix had been hopping from one letter to the next, getting closer and closer to Beau when he flew away. Beatrix hopped down behind the letters and walked all the way to the other end of the sign. I think she was a lot hopeful and restless.
