Alison:
Today both parents were at the nest, and sat together for some time:
Pchemist:
heh. so, in Canada they like smaller houses? While the US birds are looking for excess space?
I'm just saying... ::)
The Peregrine Chick:
The Boise & Elk River nestboxes are a different (but the most common) design from the Radisson nestbox, ours is less box, more tray with a cover. These boxes are very large - ours aren't. They are also entirely enclosed, ours aren't - ours are only half-covered. We used to use more open boxes but our birds don't seem to want to use them, they seem to prefer a) sky over their heads and b) smaller quarters. I'm hoping to increase the size on some of the new boxes and hope that they will appeal to some of the newcomers.

this looks like a good box and site. Man, I am supposed to be cutting down ;) ;)
Pchemist:
It's also similar to Elk River. But, since all are on slightly different schedules we can watch lots of hatching! (Elk River and Boise are on very similar hatch watch dates, I bet, while P&T will be later).
I'm lucky as I have a big screen at work and can have them all up at once below my "work stuff" windows. :D
