At this point, I'd just like to get a text from Pip & Princess telling me that they've changed their minds and are going to give it a pass this year ...  ::)

ROFL   TPC  ;D

Must admit I've also considered it may be best if they pass this year - wasn't expecting you to be notified by a text though! ::)  ;D

That might be Princess on the cam right now! If so, she's looking quite comfortable and relaxed today. :)

The ledge isn't my preferred spot either, but it does have some good points, its a big space which is kind of nice for the chicks and because it is on the east side, never have to worry the chicks are getting warmer than I'd like them to.  Downside is that the ledge isn't accessible (and all that means) and it is so low.  Fortunately the proposed SkyCity building isn't built yet - when (if) it is then it will be much more enclosed for the chicks when they fledge.  And we have had some success off this ledge - Trey was a ledge baby, as was Ty ...

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

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!  :'( :'( :'(

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!

I think four eggs are enough for that nestbox (hope I'm wrong though).
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... :-\

Wow! 
I've been away from my calendar since April 12 and so knew that Princess had returned. 
Six weeks later I find we are still in suspense over will she, won't she and, if she will, WHERE!
Whatever, and wherever, it is utterly fabulous that we have Princess back!
