At this point in the nesting season I have to agree with you Allikat!  Fortunately it looks like it could be (knock on wood) a drier spring - so far they have been correct -last week was our first rainfall and we were starting to blow away up here a la the Dust Bowl of the Dirty Thirties (and for our younger members - http://www.cbc.ca/history/EPISCONTENTSE1EP13CH1PA2LE.html) 😉

It would be nice to have her nesting but i’d Be okay just having her around this year.

As I watch the Jets play and know how loud it is with fans outside, I pray Princess is thinking......what is that noise and waits until tomorrow to decide which nest is best. When it rained here for 2 days, I thought her memories would come "flooding" back. Princess, West is best!

Thanks TPC!  Pip's being persistent and patient, so hopefully any day now... ;)

Pip is there again, surveying the kingdom.  8) - Princess nowhere to be seen.....or maybe she's busy INSIDE the box laying some eggs!  :-* :P ;D

Thank you for sharing this good news of two birds talking in the box yesterday, pre-dawn. My fingers are crossed!

Has anybody seen Princess around the last couple of days? (Other than the early morning visit yesterday to the nestbox with Pip which was presumably her)  :-\

Yes, she's been on the eastside ledge and we can see him talking to her when she's on the wall above the nestbox (out of camera range)
