Radisson - 2018 / Pip & Princess
ballywing:
Yes and there was another time a few years ago on the East Ledge - I think only one chick had hatched so far and there was 2 solid days of pounding rain, so heavy and constant that Princess couldn't get off the chick for long enough to feed him/her. - It was heart breaking watching her. - That chick did not make it, though if I remember correctly, the 2 unhatched eggs did survive and hatch after that. - Anyway - it's just not the preferred spot, my heart can't take the stress of all the hazards that nest brings. - So fingers and toes crossed, if we have eggs coming they will be in the lovely 'high & dry' West Nest!! ;D ;D
GCG:
For me and I'm sure many others are sadly reminded of the tragedies of nesting on the East ledge. Severe rainstorms ended the nesting season in both 2008 and 2015. Chicks drowned in 2008 and eggs destroyed by flooding in 2015. Princess, I'll say it again.....West is best! :'( :'( :'(

Bah - Do not want news of eggs on East Ledge..... :-\ - Just sayin'. :P
burdi:
I haven't noticed Pip or Princess on cam in the past four hours, though cannot see what's happening on the east ledge and kind of getting a feeling that eggs are near or already here. But yesterday it was hot and humid in Winnipeg, which is very hard on Princess.
Two pigeons were checking out the box!

Maybe you could ask if the Radisson pair could take one or two?!
We’re not being greedy, just sharing duties is all.... :P

I think we should think about stealing, er, I mean borrowing, and what I mean by borrowing is not returning these eggs... I won’t say anything, if you won’t TPC... :-X
Am not being selfish, just helping out the Peregrine Falcon Population... :-\
