Elaine L:
I went down there this morning as soon as I could, and just got back (11:07 MST).  I saw the falcons after about 5 minutes, coasting on the wind, and playing aerial tag, so all was well with them.  I waited and waited, and finally saw the ravens; I was not at a very good angle, but I think the female went into the nestbox and, then I saw the male, who flew over and perched near the nestbox but on top of a ledge; his eyes were glued to the skies for a while, then he flew onto the roof, where I could not see him anymore, so I don't know if he stayed there or not. 

They have only one lonely egg in the box, and yet they still try - I guess it is the biological imperative; either that, or they are very stubborn birds. 

I will try to get down there again later today - I have a box and a towel, just in case.

She's been in and out constantly for the past 1.5 hours..and here is george again.

birdcamfan:
That didn't last for long. She's already gone and there is still only 1 egg. Quite a change in her behavior since the 2nd nest removal/increasing falcon pressure.

birdcamfan:
I guess they decided to give it another go. She's sitting on the egg(s?) again.

carly:
George is back!!  Two ravens in the box!
