Yes...here's hoping for a peaceful night at the nestbox!

Weezie is back and I notice George was in cam range escorting her back and waiting until she was safely in the box.

Ya, that's right.  She must of caught a really good look at it this morning when she landed on the ledge of the box.  Good call on that Carly.
I'm keeping everything crossed that everything is okay.

We think she may have come home this morning - no positive ID on the returning falcon yet - and Ravens have taken over her nestbox.  You will find the topic under Alberta section.

I really don't think the falcon will go into the box..as TPC says, they don't want to get cornered in there and it's full of branches so no doubt she saw that as she when she landed there this morning.  I think it will be more of trying to drive them off in the sky...I'm hoping anyway.

Same here Carly!

Hope our falcon is just resting somewhere keeping an eye out for her/his mate and won't do anything stupid right now...please oh please don't!

I hope Bev's doing okay down there!

Ok I thought I saw him so he must have been around then and is escorting her.  I hope our falcon is okay and just laying back waiting before doing anything dangerous.

I missed it as well...I think he came into the box, then they both left together...only a guess as I only caught the captured image!
Grrrr, is right.  Live streaming would be so much better!
