Great news that we have our first egg!!!
I have to add, I am also not all that fond of the east nestledge either, but, Princess chose that spot, and there is nothing we can do about it. There are reasons for everything.
There have been many successful fledges from this site - with many watchful eyes (a bonus for the phanatics: more watchers = more involvement)
It's human nature for our brains to bounce back to 2008, it was a very wet season - uncontrollable, but we need to let that go.
The birds don't remember that, this is nature, and nature will take its course.
We will all be watching holding our breaths when the wind blows, and when the rain comes, but, these Falcons will do what they do best. And we have Princess, she is by far, one of the best in the business and she will protect to the best of her ability.
And...another season begins!!!
