We must have just missed the female raven going into the nest, then. That is why the falcons took off. the ravens were gone at the time.
I thought I saw a raven in the box during the flybys. but when I looked when we left I could not see anything.
I feel bad if there are eggs but there is lots of time left for them to build a nest and have more. I saw a big Raven , maybe the male, trying to claim a nest in a big tree at Corbett Hall,behind the parkade. Maybe it is the male here and he is looking for a new nest. I hope so.
Peter said to say , the falcons were going on a supper date :) :)
I will e-mail you again Eli , when we are going down there. I would love to show you all the spots they hang out at. I am sure Wayne filled you in.
I am out to supper at 5 tomorrow. My daughter is cooking. I am out to church in the morning also. so I am going to miss some things. Keep your eyes peeled.
I will try and talk Peter into going there before supper. No promises though. I need to live down there. ;D ;D
I am off to get some photos now. Be back in a bit
Happy Easter everyone.

I just lost my post.
sorry I missed you Eli.
We were all over. I kept looking to see if anyone was looking for us.
I think the mans name is Wayne. i talked to him in great length last year. Very interesting man. so the female must have come back yesterday becasue I did not see the male until after supper today. then it was raining here last night so she was probably tired and not wanting to do anything.
I feel bad if there are eggs. i did not get the impression that the falcons would kill them unless they really had to, because they let the one tonight just sit there.
It looked smaller so it could have been the female.

I think TPC is the best one to answer that question.

Darn...guess we'll have to wait until tomorrow!
If some of you are celebrating Easter tomorrow by having dinner with family/friends....Have a HAPPY EASTER!
I'll be a nervous wreck tomorrow evening as I will be away...guess I'll come home to 3 pages of unread posts :P
I didn't know that falcons could kill ravens easily...thought it would be more of a fight...NOT THAT I WANT TO WITNESS ONE OR WANT THERE TO BE ONE! Anyone know the answer to that question?

I couldn't see a thing and now it's down so can't even check even if I wanted to.
