Elaine L:
I was talking to a lady from the Wildlife Rehab. Centre on Sunday about my concerns regarding the ravens and the falcons; she sees the falcon biologists fairly often, and she got back to me this afternoon:
her e-mail:
--- Quote ---they suspect these ravens are young of last year and that their nest likely won't survive anyways, given their inexperience and the fact that they are nesting pretty late for ravens. So thats why there is not really a drive to put up an alternate platform. I was also told that the peregrines are likely going to make things really unpleasant for the ravens and the situation will likely escalate as the peregrines get more serious about nesting.
--- Quote ---
I got back to her and asked her if the biologists would be willing to remove the nest again as I would rather see the loss of the eggs than see the ravens die, but she has not got back to me yet.
--- End quote ---

Yeah, cam 2 is fairly useless today.
Mom is restless. Turning from side to side, sometimes almost standing, maybe another egg coming?
ballywing:
...sigh...sure with something could be done to 'moistureproof' camera 2!!! :-\
bcbird:
The female in the nest box is very close to the entrance, her head is visible in cam 3 view, with her beak over the ledge in the cam2 view. I guess she is being watchful.
bev.:
there is still a raven in nestbox. I got your pm and I sent you one back.
